Latest version

4.8.6 (24 April 2014)

Source tarball

src/geant4-prerequisites/qt/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz

Notes:

• Qt5 version 5.3.1 is available but not officially supported by Geant4.
• For installation, Qt4 does not support installation into a sandbox directory (i.e. there are no options prefix or DESTDIR defined for command make install). This has to be managed manually as can be seen in the installation and stow commands.
• The tarball extracts to a rather long folder name. To follow the installation commands below, rename this to src/qt-4.8.6.
