AFAIK the BitcoinPullTester was using Qt 4.8.2 for weeks now without any problems. As there were many fixes since Qt 4.7.4 this should be a valuable change and perhaps fix some of the GUI problems we see on Windows.

I'm not sure how or where I can change the used Qt version for our Linux / Mac builds though and any input is welcome :)!

The version used for Linux builds is determined by the version shipped with Ubuntu Lucid. This is very unlikely to change.

Edit: I don't think we're using static linking for Qt at all on Linux. So it likely will just use the Qt version that is on the system.

Okay, so did I miss a part I needed to update or does the pull look correct?

I think this is correct and that you didn't miss anything, but ofc it needs to be tested.

Do you need to change line 38 of release-process.txt from
```
mv build/out/qt-win32-4.7.4-gitian.zip inputs/
```
to
```
mv build/out/qt-win32-4.8.2-gitian.zip inputs/  
```
?

@fanquake Thanks for noticing, I'll fix that.

The compiled bitcoin-qt.exe works, I tried it with a mainnet wallet. No errors were observed during startup and chain-sync.
