I have a funny feeling you can't just borrow a C++ shared library from another
computer and expect it to work.  I would focus on trying to successfully
crosscompile qt.  Might be hard.  Here are a few pages that claim to have some
instructions that might help:
http://dudu.dyn.2-h.org/nist/qt-notes.php
http://web.mit.edu/qt_v3.2.1/www/emb-install.html
http://qpe.sourceforge.net/build.html
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2003-11/thread00138-0.html
http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BuildingQtForOpie
http://www.linux4.be/~jroark/howto/opie_notes.txt
I haven't tried any of this.  Let us know how it goes.  You
might need to ask again on a mailing list that knows more about
Qt on embedded systems.
