Qt 5.X on Raspberry Pi 4

![QT5](https://misapuntesde.com/images/2020/06/qt5_rpi.png)

What a nightmare week!. I've been trying to make progress on several fronts but I'm having a hard time with it. To top it all off, I'm having a hard time with the *Qt* and I'm trying to create a script to install it if we ever need to compile anything with these libraries, and it hasn't been easy to figure out the best way to do it.

Anyway, the binaries that you can install with *Raspbian Buster* although old, can be useful for us. For the time being, I will leave you with the script you already have in [PiKISS](https://github.com/jmcerrejon/PiKISS) inside a new section *Devs* and some interesting links if you want to venture to compile from scratch or install the binaries from the *Raspbian* repository.

I let you with the configure summary:

  • **NOTE:** Now the script is customized and you can choose whether to support libraries such as bluetooth, audio,...
