<p> You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of
the directories where you choose to install TQt.
<p> <ol type=1>
<li>  Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
<p> <pre>
    cd /Developer
    gnutar xzf qt-mac-version.tar.gz
</pre>
 
<p> This creates the directory /Developer/qt-<em>version</em> containing the
files from the main archive.
<p> Rename qt-<em>version</em> to qt (or make a symlink):
<p> <pre>
    mv qt-version qt
</pre>
 
<p> The rest of this file assumes that TQt is unpacked in <tt>/Developer/qt</tt>.
<p> <li>  Set some environment variables in the file <tt>.profile</tt> (or <tt>.login</tt>,
depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
file if it is not there already.
<p> <ul>
<li> TQTDIR -- the directory in which you're building TQt
<li> PATH -- to locate the <a href="moc.html#moc">moc</a> program and other TQt tools
<li> MANPATH -- to access the TQt man pages
<li> LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared TQt library
</ul>
<p> This is done like this:
<p> In <tt>.profile</tt> (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
following lines:
<p> <pre>
    TQTDIR=/Developer/qt
    PATH=$TQTDIR/bin:$PATH
    MANPATH=$TQTDIR/man:$MANPATH
    DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TQTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

    export TQTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
</pre>
 
<p> In <tt>.login</tt> (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
<p> <pre>
    setenv TQTDIR /Developer/qt
    setenv PATH $TQTDIR/bin:$PATH
    setenv MANPATH $TQTDIR/man:$MANPATH
    setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $TQTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
</pre>
 
<p> After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
re-source the profile before continuing.
<p> <li>  If you have the commercial edition of TQt, install your license
file as <tt>$HOME/.qt-license</tt>.
<p> <li>  Compile the TQt library, and build the example programs,
the tutorial and the tools (e.g. <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt
    Designer</a>) as follows.
<p> Type:
<pre>
    cd $TQTDIR
    ./configure
</pre>
 
<p> This will configure the TQt library for your machine. Note that
GIF support is turned off by default. Run <tt>./configure -help</tt>
to get a list of configuration options.
<p> To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
<pre>
    make
</pre>
 
If you have problems, see
<a href="http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/">http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/</a>.
<p> <li>  Once you have built TQt, it is ready to use. If TQt has not been
configured with the -static option, then in order to be able to
launch TQt 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 TQt with -thread
please change the libtqt below with libtqt-mt):
<p> <pre>
    ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqt.3.dylib /usr/lib
    ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib /usr/lib
</pre>
 
<p> You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which
case, precede each command with <tt>sudo'</tt>, e.g. <tt>sudo ln -s ...</tt>). If
you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password.
<p> 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 TQt with -thread please change the libtqt
below with libtqt-mt):
<p> <pre>
    ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib
    ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib
</pre>
 
</ol>
<p> That's all! TQt is now installed. TQt's documentation can be read with
TQt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is
<tt>$TQTDIR/doc/html/index.html</tt>.
