Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink): \code mv qt-version qt \endcode The rest of this file assumes that Qt is installed in \c /usr/local/qt. \i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login, depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the file if it is not there already. \list \i QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt \i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other Qt tools \i MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages \i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library \endlist This is done like this: In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the following lines: \code 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 \endcode In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines: \code setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \endcode After you have done this, you will need to login again, or re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least \c $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. \i Install your license file as \c $HOME/.qt-license. For the free edition and evaluation version, you do not need a license file. \i Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs, the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt Designer\endlink) as follows. Type: \code ./configure \endcode This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help} to get a list of configuration options. Read \c PLATFORMS for a list of supported platforms. To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial: \code make \endcode If you have problems, see \l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}. \i In very few cases you may need to run \c /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 \code can't load library 'libqt.so.2' \endcode you probably need to put a reference to the qt library in a configuration file and run \c /sbin/ldconfig as root on your system. And don't forget to \c set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as explained in 2) above. \i The online HTML documentation is installed in \c /usr/local/qt/doc/html/ The main page is \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/html/index.html}. The man pages are installed in \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/man/}. The documentation is also accessible using \link assistant.book Qt Assistant\endlink. \endlist You're done. Qt is now installed. */ /*! \page install-win.html \title Installing Qt/Windows The Qt/Windows distribution is distributed as a self-extracting archive with a built-in installer. Just follow the installation wizard. */ */ /*! \page install-mac.html \title Installing Qt/Mac You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of the directories where you choose to install Qt. \list 1 \i Unpack the archive if you have not done so already: \code cd /Developer gnutar xzf qt-mac-version.tar.gz \endcode This creates the directory /Developer/qt-\e version containing the files from the main archive. Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink): \code mv qt-version qt \endcode The rest of this file assumes that Qt is unpacked in \c /Developer/qt. \i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login, depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the file if it is not there already. \list \i QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt \i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other Qt tools \i MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages \i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library \endlist This is done like this: In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the following lines: \code QTDIR=/Developer/qt PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH export QTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH \endcode In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines: \code setenv QTDIR /Developer/qt setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH \endcode After you have done this, you will need to login again, or re-source the profile before continuing. \i If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license file as \c $HOME/.qt-license. \i Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs, the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt Designer\endlink) as follows. Type: \code cd $QTDIR ./configure \endcode This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help} to get a list of configuration options. To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial: \code make \endcode If you have problems, see \l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}. \i Once you have built Qt, it is ready to use. If Qt has not been configured with the -static option, then in order to be able to launch Qt applications from the Finder you must place the relevant libraries in a directory where they can be found. We recommend making these symbolic links (if you have configured Qt with -thread please change the libqt below with libqt-mt): \code ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib /usr/lib ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqui.1.dylib /usr/lib \endcode You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which case, precede each command with \c sudo', e.g. \c{sudo ln -s ...}). If you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password. If you do not have administrator access, or you would prefer to do a user install (rather than system install) of the libraries you can do (if you have configured Qt with -thread please change the libqt below with libqt-mt): \code ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib \endcode \endlist That's all! Qt is now installed. Qt's documentation can be read with Qt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is \c $QTDIR/doc/html/index.html. */
