How to get Qt working on the blackberry playbook

Question

I am completely frustrated because I have been trying to install Qt on Blackberry Playbook for over a month now. I have followed every single tutorial out there (so much that every time I google Qt and playbook, all links are purple instead of blue). I have downloaded Qt-everywhere source code and tried to compile it using the flags found here, but it tells me that it cannot install opengl, sqlite etc, so I use the --continue option with ./configure and that too crashes saying that it can't find qcc.

I have noticed a Qt library directory when browsing incudes in the qnx IDE, in the project explorer. The thing is when i write a Qt application it can't find the headers. So Please Help, anyone who has done this in the RECENT past . ps. i am new to cross compiling on linux systems.

Probably quite late to say, but I have created a BlackBerry Native Plugin for Visual Studio 2015, where you can develop apps for BlackBerry PlayBook and Qt in particular.

Simply create new project "Other Languages / BlackBerry Projects / Qt / PlayBook - Qt4 Core Application" and you are ready to go. It downloads all required libraries via NuGet during first build.
