install qt sdk on ubuntu without desktop environment

Hello,





I am using a vps with ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.



I like to install qt but when I run the download from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads it complains 'cannot connect to x server'. But I do not like to install a desktop environment on that machine.



I did install the debs qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui but is this enough? Because a quick look tells me there is only the libsqlite driver present and I'd like for instance to use the msqldriver.



How can I use qt fully without installing a desktop environment?



Thanks.

Edit: I found out I can install the mysql driver, libqt4-sql-mysql, from the terminal. Question, do I really need the SDK, what's the difference?

The SDK includes almost everything, compilers, source code, Qt Creator, etc. etc. etc. etc.

But you can get everything individually using apt.

The SDK mainly makes it easier to install, as you can easily choose which components you want to install.
