I am really sorry, i must be stupid but i am completly lost right now and i feel that i must not be the only person like this so i will explain all i have done step by step and if i did somethign wrong or did not understand a thing or told an absurdity i will accept it if someone can explain it.
Here is what i have done :
1) Used ubuntu software center and downloaded/installer qt creator and qt designer
2) Then got here : http://qt.developpez.com/doc/4.7/qt-embedded-linux/
3) Then i click on installation and finished the step 4 ( http://qt.developpez.com/doc/4.7/qt-embedded-install/ ), i check /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.8.6-arm exist an is not empty so i would think the installation did not fail. But still, there is no executable anywhere called "qtembeded" or something and qt creator don't seems to have any thing new but it is written :
This document describes how to install Qt for Embedded Linux in your development environment:

( http://qt.developpez.com/doc/4.7/qt-embedded-install/ ) I installed it on my development environment which is my ubuntu pc but i don't really see the point now if there is no executable or relation with qt creator for example. But, why not, maybe this is used later.
Now like wysota told me, to run application on the embedded device i must have qt installed on the board too.
So here is where i am completly lost. Either this is as complicated as it is or i am missing something.
a) I go here : http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8-sna...d-install.html and read :
Please see the cross compiling and deployment documentation for details on how to install Qt for Embedded Linux on your target device.

b) I click on cross-compilling. I would assume that the files to cross compile are from the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz archive too.
At the end i read :
That's all. Your target specific executable is ready for deployment.

Ok, i will have an executable, surely it will be put in /bin. Nice.
c) Then the deploying application part ( http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8-sna...eployment.html )
Which tells me :
The procedure of deploying an Qt application on Qt for Embedded Linux is essentially the same as the deployment procedure on X11 platforms which is described in detail in the Deploying an Application on X11 Platforms

So i click on the link ( http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8-sna...yment-x11.html )
But i thought i woul only need to call the window manager or qt with a ./filename -qws ...
To resume :
- qt creator is installed
- qt designer too
- qt for embedded linux is installed on the dev part but don't seems to be of any use...
- qt for embedded linux "board" part if cross-compilled would give me a qt executable which i assume would be used to launch the future applications
- The way to run an application is unsure
Did i miss something, or misunderstood a part ? Like i said, i want to understand. This is just...if i make it works i will write how i did it and put on somewhere because i don't want anyone else being as stuck as me. As much as the people doing qt are nice, they are not "noob-friendly" i would say but i can understand
