How do I install qt4 in alpine by using apk add?
It seems, that it is not anymore in the list.
Do I have any chance?

Unfortunately, Qt 4 has been removed in Alpine 3.10, and superseded by Qt 5: https://alpinelinux.org/posts/Alpine-3.10.0-released.html
This is the removal commit, according to which, the Qt4 community Alpine package has been unmaintained for a while prior to being removed:
https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pull/8515
Alpine doesn't keep old package versions in its catalogue, so once a package is removed, it is usually for good. qt4 may be found with some very old images, but even if you manage to successfully extract it, it probably won't be compatible with Alpine 3.12.
Sadly, for having Qt4 on Alpine, it looks like you'll have to build it from source, unless it is revived by the Alpine community.
