Looking at the error (... (library qt-mt) not found. ...) I think it's
referring to the libqt3-mt package which has something to do with
threaded support, so you may need libqt3-mt & libqt3-mt-dev

I know it seems a bit alien at first figuring out what packages are
needed and what the errors mean, but, like most things, you'll get used
to it and know what to look for in the future.
