I tried compiling 1.3.0pre2 qwith qt, and it looks great. I had some troubles though:
I tried using gcc-3.2 and g++-3.2, believeing those are supposed to be better for c++ than the default 2.95 version in debian. But configure --with-frontend=qt failed in that case, it "could not compile a simple qt program" The logfile claimed it didn't find the qt includes. Setting up QTDIR didn't help. Using extra configure parameters to tell the location of qt includes worked, but then ld complained. It didn't find any qt libraries, and no parameters fixed that. Reverting to g++ 2.95 worked though. configure completed and lyx compiled and ran just fine. Helge Hafting
