INSTALLING Qt Source Package Version %VERSION%.
22

3-
1. If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
4-
file as $HOME/.qt-license if you are on Unix. If you are on
5-
Windows, copy the license file into your home directory
6-
(this may be known as the userprofile environment variable) and
7-
rename it to .qt-license. For example on Windows XP,
8-
%USERPROFILE% should be something like C:\Documents and
9-
Settings\username.
3+
For full installation instructions for each supported platform, please
4+
see http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/installation.html, the file
5+
doc/html/installation.html in this package, or follow one of the following
6+
links:

Mac OS X: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/install-mac.html

11-
For the open source version you do not need a license file.
12-
13-
2. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
14-
15-
On Unix (X11 and Mac):
16-
cd /tmp
17-
gunzip %DISTNAME%.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
18-
tar xvf %DISTNAME%.tar # unpack it
19-
20-
This creates the directory /tmp/%DISTNAME% containing the files
21-
from the archive. We only support the GNU version of the tar
22-
archiving utility. Note that on some systems it is called gtar.
23-
24-
On Windows, uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt
25-
installed, e.g. C:\Qt\%VERSION%.
26-
27-
NOTE: The install path must not contain any spaces.
28-
29-
4. Environment variables
30-
31-
In order to build and use Qt, the PATH environment variable needs
32-
to be extended to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
33-
34-
On Windows, this is done by adding C:\Qt\%VERSION%\bin
35-
to the PATH variable. On Unix, this is done by adding
36-
/tmp/%DISTNAME%.
37-
38-
For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through
39-
"Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for
40-
older versions by editing C:\autoexec.bat.
41-
42-
In .profile (if your Unix shell is bash), add the following lines:
43-
44-
PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
45-
export PATH
46-
47-
In .login (in case your Unix shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
48-
49-
setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
50-
51-
If you use a different Unix shell, please modify your environment
52-
variables accordingly.
53-
54-
For some X11 compilers that do not support rpath you must also
55-
extended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
56-
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/lib. On Linux or Mac with GCC
57-
this step is not needed.
58-
59-
4. Building
60-
61-
4.1 Building on Unix
62-
63-
To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
64-
./configure script in the package directory.
65-
66-
By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
67-
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION% directory, but this can be
68-
changed by using the -prefix option.
69-
70-
cd /tmp/%DISTNAME%
71-
./configure
72-
73-
Type "./configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
74-
75-
To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
76-
and tutorials, type:
77-
78-
make
79-
80-
If you did not configure Qt using the -prefix-install option,
81-
you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and
82-
tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:
83-
84-
su -c "make install"
85-
86-
and enter the root password. On some systems, you have to use the
87-
sudo command as follows:
88-
89-
sudo make install
90-
91-
and enter your password, this requires that you have administrator access
92-
to your machine.
93-
94-
Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently,
95-
e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to
96-
use.
97-
98-
If you need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location,
99-
ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed
100-
by entering the build directory and typing
101-
102-
make confclean
103-
104-
before running the configure script again.
105-
106-
4.2 Building on Windows
107-
108-
To configure the Qt library for your machine type:
109-
110-
C:
111-
cd \Qt\%VERSION%
112-
configure
113-
114-
Type "configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
115-
116-
If you are using the "-direct3d" option, make sure that you have
117-
the Direct3D SDK installed, and that you have run the
118-
%DXSDK_DIR%\Utilities\Bin\dx_setenv.cmd command, before attempting
119-
to run configure.
120-
121-
The actual commands needed to build Qt depends on your development
122-
system. For Microsoft Visual Studio to create the library and
123-
compile all the demos, examples, tools and tutorials type:
124-
125-
nmake
126-
127-
If you need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location,
128-
ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed
129-
by entering the build directory and typing
130-
131-
nmake confclean
132-
133-
before running the configure script again.
134-
135-
5. That's all. Qt is now installed.
136-
137-
If you are new to Qt, we suggest that you take a look at the demos
138-
and examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos
139-
either by typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the
140-
desktop's Start menu.
