-  * '''Qt version 4.8.0 or later'''
+  * '''Qt version 5.0.0 or later'''
   * gperf (v3.0 or later)
   * bison (v2.4.1 or later)

 First follow the instructions [QtWebKitContrib there to get the sources]. The Qt port is part of the WebKit source tree, so you don't need anything extra.
 
-Finally, set the QTDIR environment variable to Qt 4.x's installation path and make sure Qt 4.x's qmake is the first qmake in your PATH (typically by running `export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH`).

-If you are planning to compile it with [http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git Qt 5], QTDIR should point to `PathToRepository/qt5/qtbase/`. You should also use this script [https://github.com/ossy-szeged/qt5-tools/blob/master/build-qt5.sh build-qt5.sh] to build Qt5 (this is what the buildbots are using) (Don't forget to put [https://github.com/ossy-szeged/qt5-tools/blob/master/build-qt5-env build-qt5-env] in the same folder). Usually once a week we update the current Qt5 hash, so keep checking out this script.
+Finally, set the QTDIR environment variable to Qt 5.x's installation path (or qtbase/bin for a Qt developer builds) and make sure Qt 5.x's qmake is the first qmake in your PATH (typically by running `export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH`).
