| 1 | INSTALLING Qt/All Source Version 4.5.1.
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 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 2000,
|
|---|
| 8 | %USERPROFILE% should be something like C:\Documents and
|
|---|
| 9 | Settings\username.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 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\4.5.1.
|
|---|
| 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:
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | On Windows, this is done by adding c:\Qt\4.5.1\bin
|
|---|
| 37 | to the PATH variable. On Unix, this is done by adding
|
|---|
| 38 | /tmp/%DISTNAME%.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through
|
|---|
| 41 | "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for
|
|---|
| 42 | older versions by editing c:\autoexec.bat.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | In .profile (if your Unix shell is bash), add the following lines:
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.1/bin:$PATH
|
|---|
| 47 | export PATH
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | In .login (in case your Unix shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.1/bin:$PATH
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | If you use a different Unix shell, please modify your environment
|
|---|
| 54 | variables accordingly.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | For some X11 compilers that do not support rpath you must also
|
|---|
| 57 | extended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
|
|---|
| 58 | /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.1/lib. On Linux or Mac with GCC
|
|---|
| 59 | this step is not needed.
|
|---|
