/*! \page install-x11.html
\title Installing Qt for X11 Platforms
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on platforms with X11.
\previouspage Installation

\tableofcontents

    Qt for X11 has some requirements that are given in more detail 
    in the \l{Qt for X11 Requirements} document.

\section1 Step 1: Installing the License File (commercial editions only)
    If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
    file as \c{$HOME/.qt-license}.

    For the open source version you do not need a license file.

\section1 Step 2: Unpacking the Archive
    Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example,
    if you have the \c{qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz}
    package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 0

    This creates the directory \c{/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3}
    containing the files from the archive. We only support the GNU version of
    the tar archiving utility. Note that on some systems it is called gtar.

\section1 Step 3: Building the Library

    To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
    \c{./configure} script in the package directory.

    By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
    \c{/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3} directory, but this can be
    changed by using the \c{-prefix} option.

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 1

    Type \c{./configure -help} to get a list of all available options.

    To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
    and tutorials, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 2

    If \c{-prefix} is outside the build directory, you need to install
    the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate
    place. To do this (as root if necessary), type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 3
    
    Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently,
    e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to
    use.

    \bold{Note:} If you later need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the
    same location, ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are
    removed by entering the build directory and typing \c{make confclean}
    before running \c configure again.

\section1 Step 4: Set the Environment Variables

    In order to use Qt, some environment variables needs to be
    extended.

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 4

    This is done like this:

    In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
    following lines:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 5

    In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 6

    If you use a different shell, please modify your environment
    variables accordingly.

    For compilers that do not support rpath you must also extended the
    \c LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
    \c{/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3/lib}. On Linux with GCC this step
    is not needed.

\bold {That's all. Qt is now installed.}

\section1 Qt Demos and Examples

    If you are new to Qt, we suggest that you take a look at the demos
    and examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos
    either by typing \c qtdemo on the command line or through the
    desktop's Main menu.

    You might also want to try the following links:

    \list
    \o \l{Configuring Qt}
    \o \l{How to Learn Qt}
    \o \l{Tutorials}

\page install-win.html
\title Installing Qt for Windows
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on Windows.
\previouspage Installation

\tableofcontents

    Qt for Windows has some requirements that are given in more detail
    in the \l{Qt for Windows Requirements} document.

    If you have obtained a binary package for this platform,
    consult the installation instructions provided instead of the ones in
    this document.

    Open Source Versions of Qt is not officially supported for use with
    any version of Visual Studio. Integration with Visual Studio is available
    as part of the \l{Qt Commercial Edition}.

\section1 Step 1: Install the License File (commercial editions only)

    If you have the commercial edition of Qt, copy the license file
    from your account on dist.trolltech.com into your home directory
    (this may be known as the \c userprofile environment variable) and
    rename it to \c{.qt-license}. This renaming process must be done
    using a \e{command prompt} on Windows, \bold{not} with Windows Explorer.
    For example on Windows 2000, \c{%USERPROFILE%} should be something
    like \c{C:\Documents and Settings\username}

    For the open source version you do not need a license file.

\section1 Step 2: Unpack the Archive

    Uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt installed;
    e.g. \c{C:\Qt\4.7.3}.

    \note The install path must not contain any spaces or Windows specific
    file system characters.

\section1 Step 3: Set the Environment variables

    In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs to be
    extended:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 7

    This is done by adding \c{c:\Qt\4.7.3\bin} to the \c PATH variable.

    For newer versions of Windows, \c PATH can be extended through
    the \menu{Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment variables} menu.

    You may also need to ensure that the locations of your compiler and
    other build tools are listed in the \c PATH variable. This will depend
    on your choice of software development environment.

    \note If you don't use the configured shells, which is
    available in the application menu, in the \l{Open Source Versions of Qt},
    \c configure requires that \c sh.exe is not in the path
    or that it is run from \c msys. This also goes for mingw32-make.

\section1 Step 4: Build the Qt Library


    To configure the Qt library for your machine, type the following command
    in a \bold{Visual Studio} command prompt:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 8

    Type \c{configure -help} to get a list of all available options.

    If you have multiple compilers installed, and want to build the Qt library
    using a specific compiler, you must specify a \c qmake specification.
    This is done by pasing \c{-platform <spec>} to configure; for example:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 9

    In some cases you need to set up the compilation environment before running
    configure in order to use the right compiler. For instance, you need to do this
    if you have Visual Studio 2005 installed and want to compile Qt using the x64
    compiler because the 32-bit and 64-bit compiler both use the same
    \c qmake specification file.
    This is usually done by selecting
    \menu{Microsoft Visual Studio 2005|Visual Studio Tools|<Command Prompt>}
    from the \gui Start menu.

    The actual commands needed to build Qt depends on your development
    system. For Microsoft Visual Studio to create the library and
    compile all the demos, examples, tools and tutorials type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 10

    \note If you later need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the
    same location, ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are
    removed by entering the build directory and typing \c{nmake distclean}
    before running \c configure again.

\bold{That's all. Qt is now installed.}

\section1 Qt Demos and Examples

    If you are new to Qt, we suggest that you take a look at the demos
    and examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos
    either by typing \c qtdemo on the command line or through the
    desktop's Start menu.

/*! \page install-mac.html
\title Installing Qt for Mac OS X
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on Mac OS X.
\previouspage Installation
\tableofcontents

Qt for Mac OS X has some requirements that are given in more detail
in the \l{Qt for Mac OS X Requirements} document.

The following instructions describe how to install Qt from the source package.

For the binary package, simply double-click on the Qt.mpkg
and follow the instructions to install Qt. You can later run the \c{uninstall-qt.py}
script to uninstall the binary package. The script is located in /Developer/Tools and
must be run as root.

\note Do not run the iPhone simulator while installing Qt. The
\l{http://openradar.appspot.com/7214991} 
{iPhone simulator conflicts with the package installer}.

\section1 Step 1: Install the License File (commercial editions only)
    If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
    file as \c{$HOME/.qt-license}.

    For the open source version you do not need a license file.

    Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example,
    if you have the \c{qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.tar.gz}
    package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 11

    This creates the directory \c{/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3}
    containing the files from the archive.

\section1 Step 2:  Build the Qt Library

    To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
    \c{./configure} script in the package directory.

    By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
    \c{/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.7.3} directory, but this can be
    changed by using the \c{-prefix} option.

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 12

    Type \c{./configure -help} to get a list of all available options.

    Note that you will need to specify \c{-universal} if you want to
    build universal binaries, and also supply a path to the \c{-sdk}
    option if your development machine has a PowerPC CPU. By default,
    Qt is built as a framework, but you can built it as a set of
    dynamic libraries (dylibs) by specifying the \c{-no-framework}
    option.

    Qt can also be configured to be built with debugging symbols. This
    process is described in detail in the \l{Debugging Techniques}
    document.

    To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
    and tutorials, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 13

    If \c{-prefix} is outside the build directory, you need to install
    the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate
    place. To do this, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 14

    This command requires that you have administrator access
    on your machine.

    \note There is a potential race condition when running make install with multiple
    jobs. It is best to only run one make job (-j1) for the install.

    If you later need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the
    same location, ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are
    removed by entering the build directory and typing \c{make confclean}
    before running \c configure again.

\section1 Step 3: Set the Environment variables

    In order to use Qt, some environment variables need to be
    extended.

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 15

    This is done like this:

    In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash), add the following lines:

    In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 17

    If you use a different shell, please modify your environment
    variables accordingly.

\previouspage Installation
\tableofcontents

Qt for Windows CE has some requirements that are given in more detail
in the \l{Qt for Windows CE Requirements} document.

\section1 Step 1: Install the License File (commercial editions only)
    Uncompress the files into the directory you want to install Qt into;
    e.g., \c{C:\Qt\4.7.3}.

    \note The install path must not contain any spaces.

\section1 Step 2: Set the Environment variables

    In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs
    to be extended:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 18
    This is done by adding \c{c:\Qt\4.7.3\bin} to the \c PATH variable.

    For newer versions of Windows, \c PATH can be extended through
    "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for
    older versions by editing \c{c:\autoexec.bat}.

    Make sure the enviroment variables for your compiler are set.
    Visual Studio includes \c{vcvars32.bat} for that purpose - or simply
    use the "Visual Studio Command Prompt" from the Start menu.

\section1 Step 3: Configure Qt

    To configure Qt for Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC, type the
    following:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 19

    If you want to configure Qt for another platform or with other
    options, type \c{configure -help} to get a list of all available
    options. See the \c README file for the list of supported platforms.

\section1 Step 4: Build Qt Library

    Now, to build Qt you first have to update your \c PATH, \c INCLUDE
    and \c LIB paths to point to the correct resources for your target
    platforms. For a default installation of the Windows Mobile 5.0
    Pocket PC SDK, this is done with the following commands:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 20

    We provide a convenience script for this purpose, called \c{setcepaths}.
    Simply type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 21

    Then to build Qt type:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 22

\bold{That's all. Qt is now installed.}

\section1 Qt Demos and Examples

    To get started with Qt, you can check out the examples found in the
    \c{examples} directory of your Qt installation. The documentation can
    be found in \c{doc\html}.

    \note If you reconfigure Qt for a different platform,
    make sure you start with a new clean console to get rid of the
    platform dependent include directories.

\brief How to install Qt for the Symbian platform from a binary package.
\previouspage Installation

\tableofcontents

Qt for the Symbian platform has some requirements that are given in more detail
in the \l{Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements} document.


\section1 Step 1: Install Qt

        Run \c{qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.3.exe} and follow the instructions.

        \note Qt must be installed on the same drive as the Symbian SDK you are
        using, and the install path must not contain any spaces.

\section1 Step 2: Install Qt into a device

        To run Qt applications on a device, \c{qt_installer.sis} found
        in the Qt installation directory must be first installed into the device.
        \c{Qt_installer.sis} contains Qt libraries and Open C libraries all in one
        convenient package.
        Begin installation by connecting your device via USB cable to a computer that
        has the \l{http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite}{Nokia PC Suite} installed.
        On the device, select "PC Suite mode". In Windows Explorer right click
        on the \c{qt_installer.sis} file, select "Install with Nokia Application
        Installer" and follow the instructions.

\section1 Running Qt demos

        We've included a subset of the Qt demos in this package for you
        to try out. An excellent starting point is the "fluidlauncher"
        demo.

        To run the demo on a real device, install \c{fluidlauncher.sis}
        found in the Qt installation directory to a device that already has Qt installed.
        After installation, you can find fluidlauncher in the applications folder of the device.

        To run the demos and examples on the emulator, you need to build them first.
        Open the "Qt for the Symbian platform Command Prompt" from the Start menu and type:

        \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 25

        To run the demos on the emulator simply navigate to the directory of the demo
        you want to see and run:

\brief How to install Qt for the Symbian platform.
\previouspage Installation
\tableofcontents

Qt for the Symbian platform has some requirements that are given in more detail
in the \l{Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements} document.

This document describes how to install and configure Qt for
the Symbian platform from scratch. If you are using pre-built binaries, follow 
the instructions given in the \l{Installing Qt for the Symbian platform from a 
Binary Package} document.

\section1 Step 1: Set Up the Development Environment

    Make sure your Symbian development environment is correctly installed 
    and patched as explained in the \l{Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements}
    document.

    After you have finished the Symbian development environment setup, it is 
    good to verify that environment is functional for example by compiling one
    of the pure Symbian examples for both emulator and HW. This can be done from
    command prompt as follows:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 32

    If all steps pass without errors your Symbian development environment is
    very likely installed correctly.

\section1 Step 2: Install Qt

    Uncompress the \l{http://qt.nokia.com/downloads}{downloaded} source 
    package into the directory you want Qt installed, e.g. \c{C:\Qt\4.7.3}.

    \note Qt must be installed on the same drive as the Symbian SDK you are
    using, and the install path must not contain any spaces.

\section1 Step 3: Set the Environment variables

    In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs
    to be extended:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 18

    This is done by adding \c{c:\Qt\4.7.3\bin} to the \c PATH variable.

    On Windows the\c PATH can be extended by navigating to
    "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables".

    In addition, you must configure the environment for use with the Symbian
    emulator. This is done by locating the Carbide.c++ submenu on the Start
    menu, and choosing "Configure environment for WINSCW command line".

    If you are planning to use \c abld (the default build system that comes with 
    the S60 SDK) to build Qt, you will also need to set the following 
    environment variable:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 33

    This is not necessary for other applications, only when building Qt.

\section1 Step 4: Configure Qt

    To configure Qt for the Symbian platform, do:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 23
    (to build the tools using MinGW, and the libraries using abld)
    
    \bold or

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 31
    (to build the tools using MinGW, and the libraries using SBSv2)

    SBSv2 (also known as \l{http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Introduction_to_RAPTOR} {Raptor}) 
    is a next-generation Symbian build system. SBSv2 is not officially supported
    by any of the S60 SDKs currently available from Forum Nokia.

\section1 Step 5: Build Qt

    To build Qt for the emulator, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 24

    To build Qt for the device, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 28

    Congratulations, Qt is now ready to use.

\section1 Step 7: Installing Qt Libraries on the Device

    To run the demo on a real device, you first have to install
    the Qt libraries on the device:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 29

    The Qt libraries are built with "All -Tcb" capability, so that
    they can support all types of application.
    If you don't have a suitable certificate, it is possible to patch
    the binaries as follows:

    If you have no certificate, build a self signed Qt:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 34

    If you have a symbian-signed developer certificate, specify the
    capabilities you can sign for, for example:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 35

\section1 Running Qt demos

    We've included a subset of the Qt demos in this package for you
    to try out. An excellent starting point is the "fluidlauncher"
    demo.

    Similarly, install fluidlauncher to the device:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 30

    This will create a self-signed \c fluidlauncher.sis and
    install it to your device.

    To run the demos on the emulator simply navigate to the directory of the demo
    you want to see and run:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 27

\brief How to install Qt for the Symbian platform using Linux.
\previouspage Installation
\tableofcontents

This document describes how to install and configure Qt for
the Symbian platform from scratch, using Linux as the build host.
Qt for Symbian binaries can be downloaded directly so development of
applications using Qt for Symbian can start right away.

\section1 Step 1: Setup the Development Environment

Qt for the Symbian platform has some requirements on the development
platform. The Symbian SDK for Linux as well as a cross compiler for the ARM
processor used on Symbian devices should be present on the development 
machine.

See \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/QtCreatorSymbianLinux} for more details.


\section1 Step 2: Unpack the Archive

Uncompress the \l{http://qt.nokia.com/downloads}{downloaded} source package into the
directory you want Qt installed, e.g. \c{/home/user/qt/4.7.3}.


\section1 Step 3: Set the Environment Variables

In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs
to be extended to fine Qt tools and also to find the Symbian platform tools:

First you need to set the \c EPOCROOT environment variable to point to the 
location of your S60 SDK:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 36

Then you can update the PATH variable;

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 39

to build the libraries using GCCE.


\section1 Step 5: Build Qt

To build Qt for the device, type:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 40

Congratulations, Qt is now ready to use.


\section1 Step 6: Building Qt Packages for the Device

To run any application or demo on a real device, you need to install it
on the device. To do this you first have to create a a package for the
device, containing the libraries:

\bold{Building a Qt package without a certificate}

If you have no certificate, build a self signed Qt:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 41

The Qt libraries are built with "All -Tcb" capability, so that
they can support all types of applications. However, these
capabilities are automatically lowered if you make a self-signed
package.

\bold{Building a Qt package with a Symbian developer certificate}

If you have a Symbian-signed developer certificate, specify the
capabilities you can sign for, for example:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 42

\section2 Installing Qt Packages to the Device.

It is possible to install packages to a phone in Linux by putting
the package on the phone memory card and then installing manually
from the phone menu. However, this is tedious and will not work
on phones without a memory card, so the method recommended by Qt is
to use the App TRK tool.

\section3 Obtaining the App TRK package.

Download the package from the following location.

\list
\o \l{http://tools.ext.nokia.com/trk/}{Application TRK}.
   Choose the correct installation package based on the
   S60 version of your device
   (\c{S60_<S60-version>_app_trk_<TRK-version>.sisx}).
\endlist

This package currently has to be installed by putting the
package on the memory card and installing from the phone
menu, or using a Windows PC for doing the install. However,
the installation only has to be done once.

\section3 Configuring App TRK on the Phone

When App TRK is installed, connect the phone to the PC using
the USB cable. Select "PCSuite" as connection type. Then run
App TRK on the phone, and make sure that the connection type is
USB. This can be changed under the \c Settings menu entry.
If necessary, choose \c Connect from the menu.

\section3 Configuring the USB Serial Driver on the Linux System

On Linux, phone should appear as the \c /dev/ttyUSB1 device,
however if you are running an old kernel, you may need to
force the USB module to be loaded correctly before the device
will appear:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 43

Note the identifier on the line where your Symbian device
appears. Then execute the following, using the first and
second part of the identifier in place of \c XXX,
respectively.

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 44

The \c rmmod step may fail if the module is not already
loaded, but that is harmless.

\section3 Building the runonphone Tool.

Note that building the \c runonphone tool requires a separate
installation of Qt for Linux. If there is a version of Qt
installed by your distribution's package mechanism, that that
should do fine. Some distributions separate the libraries from
the development setup which includes \c qmake. Make sure you
have both installed.

You will also need the \l{libusb} libraries and header files
installed. Usually, installing a development package such as
\c{libusb-dev} will ensure that you have all the necessary
dependencies installed.

First, make sure that the \c qmake you use is taken from the
Linux installation of Qt. The easiest way to make sure of this
is to open a new shell and run the following command:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 45

\c qmake will tell you where it is installed.

Copy the \c{%QTDIR%/tools/runonphone} folder to a place outside
of the Qt tree. Then go to the folder in a shell and build it:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 46

Copy the resulting executable to a folder which is in your
\c PATH environment variable.

\section3 Installing the Built Package onto the Phone

\note Before starting, please make sure that there is no previously
installed version of Qt on the phone.

Return to the root of the Qt tree configured for Symbian. Then
install the Qt libraries by running the following:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 47

You may need to supply the path of the serial device file using
the \c{-p} option:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc runonphone with device file path

If the installation fails, please make sure that there is
no previously installed version of Qt on the phone.

Qt requires some dependent packages to be installed on the device,
which can be installed using the runonphone tool as well. One is
the \c{sqlite3.sis}, which is included in the Qt distribution, while
the others are shipped with the Symbian SDK. The required packages
can be found from the following locations:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 50

It is also possible to install packages onto the device using the
\c runonphone build rule that \c qmake automatically generates for
each Qt project. Options can be supplied to the \c runonphone tool
that is invoked begind the scenes:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc make runonphone with options

If you are running \c runonphone or invoking the \c runonphone
build rule often, it is possible to set the \c QT_RUN_ON_PHONE_OPTIONS
environment variable with the options you normally use:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc make runonphone with preset environment variable

This makes installation of packages onto a device easier and less
error-prone.


\section1 Running Qt Demos

We've included a subset of the Qt demos in this package for you
to try out. An excellent starting point is the "fluidlauncher"
demo.

Install and run the demo by using the following commands:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 48

The same command can be used for other applications:

\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 49

For more information about building and running Qt programs on the
Symbian platform, see \l{The Symbian platform - Introduction to Qt}.

We hope you will enjoy using Qt.

    \note You must compile with XRender support to get alpha transparency
    support for pixmaps and images.

    Development packages for these libraries contain header files that are used
    when building Qt from its source code. On Debian-based GNU/Linux systems,
    for example, we recommend that you install the following development
    packages:

    \list
    \o libfontconfig1-dev
    \o libfreetype6-dev
    \o libx11-dev
    \o libxcursor-dev
    \o libxext-dev

    \o libxft-dev
    \o libxi-dev
    \o libxrandr-dev
    \o libxrender-dev
    \endlist

    Some of these packages depend on others in this list, so installing one
    may cause others to be automatically installed. Other distributions may
    provide system packages with similar names.

    \section1 OpenGL Dependencies

    The configure script will autodetect if OpenGL headers and libraries are
    installed on your system, and if so, it will include the QtOpenGL module
    in the Qt library.

    If your OpenGL headers or libraries are placed in a non-standard directory,
    you may need to change the \c QMAKE_INCDIR_OPENGL and/or
    \c QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL in the config file for your system.

    The QGL documentation assumes that you are familiar with OpenGL
    programming. If you're new to the subject a good starting point is
    \l{http://www.opengl.org/}.

    \section1 Phonon Dependencies

    As described in the \l{Phonon Overview}, Phonon uses the GStreamer multimedia
    framework as the backend for audio and video playback on X11. The minimum required
    version of GStreamer is 0.10.

    To build Phonon, you need the GStreamer library, base plugins, and development
    files for your system. The package names for GStreamer vary between Linux
    distributions; try searching for \c gstreamer or \c libgstreamer in your
    distribution's package repository to find suitable packages.
