Installing Qt/X11

+ + +

You may need to be root, depending on the permissions of the directories +where you choose to install Qt. +

Unpack the archive if you have not done so already: +
```
+    cd /usr/local
+    gunzip qt-x11-version.tar.gz    # uncompress the archive
+    tar xf qt-x11-version.tar       # unpack it
+
```
+ +
This creates the directory /usr/local/qt-version containing the +files from the main archive. +
Rename qt-version to qt (or make a symlink): +
```
+    mv qt-version qt
+
```
+ +
The rest of this file assumes that Qt is installed in /usr/local/qt. +
Set some environment variables in the file .profile (or .login, +depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the +file if it is not there already. +
- QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt +
- PATH -- to locate the moc program and other Qt tools +
- MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages +
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library +
+
This is done like this: +
In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the +following lines: +
```
+    QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
+    PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+    MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+    export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
```
+ +
In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines: +
```
+    setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt
+    setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+    setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
```
+ +
After you have done this, you will need to login again, or +re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least $QTDIR +is set. The installation will give an error message and not +proceed otherwise. +
On AIX set LIBPATH and on HP-UX set SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. +
Note that the SGI MIPSpro o32 and Sun WorkShop 5.0 targets are no +longer supported as of Qt 3.3. +
Install your license file as $HOME/.qt-license. +For the free edition and evaluation version, you do not need a license +file. +
Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs, +the tutorial and the tools (e.g. Qt + Designer) as follows. +
Type: +
```
+    ./configure
+
```
+ +
This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that +GIF support is turned off by default. Run ./configure -help +to get a list of configuration options. Read PLATFORMS for a +list of supported platforms. +
To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial: +
```
+    make
+
```
+ +If you have problems, see +http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/. +
In very few cases you may need to run /sbin/ldconfig or something +similar at this point if you are using shared libraries. +
If you have problems running the example programs, e.g. messages like +
```
+    can't load library 'libqt.so.2'
+
```
+ +you probably need to put a reference to the qt library in a +configuration file and run /sbin/ldconfig as root on your system. +And don't forget to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as explained in 2) above. +
The online HTML documentation is installed in /usr/local/qt/doc/html/ +The main page is /usr/local/qt/doc/html/index.html. +The man pages are installed in /usr/local/qt/doc/man/. +The documentation is also accessible using Qt + Assistant. +

You're done. Qt is now installed. +
