Hi all, I’m new to SLES and I’m looking to see if I can successfully install, and maybe package, the QT5 library successfully on SLES 11. I saw this post [https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?8206-Qt5-for-SLE-11](https://forums.suse.com/showthread.php?8206-Qt5-for-SLE-11) but from what I saw I couldn’t meet all the dependencies.

Has anyone successfully installed QT 5 for SLES 11? Any suggestions on how I would go about it?

By “new to SLES” do you also mean that you newly installed SLES? I ask  
because SLES12, with SLES12 SP3 currently being the latest release, has  
Qt 5.6.2.

The forum post you link to is from August 2016 and unsurprisingly it  
seems the person who posted that no longer provides a SLES11 version of Qt5.

Is replacing/upgrading/migrating your SLES11 SP4 server to SLES12 SP3 an  
option?

By “new to SLES” I mean I’ve never dealt with it before. That being said the project I am working on is married to SLES 11 SP4 and I could not get the go-ahead to work with SLES 12 SP3 instead. So, unfortunately I am stuck with SLES 11 SP4.
