Installing tqmake

Installing tqmake

tqmake is built by default when TQt is built.

This section explains how to build tqmake manually. Skip ahead to The 10 minute guide to using tqmake, if you already have tqmake.

Installing tqmake manually

Before building TQt manually the following environment variables must be set:

• QMAKESPEC
  This must be set to the platform and compiler combination that you are using on your system.
  For example, if you are using Windows and Microsoft Visual Studio, you would set this environment variable to win32-msvc. If you are using Solaris and g++, you would set this environment variable to solaris-g++.

  The following is a list of environment variables available to choose from when setting QMAKESPEC:

  aix-64 hpux-cc irix-032 netbsd-g++ solaris-cc unixware7-g++ aix-g++ hpux-g++ linux-cxx openbsd-g++ solaris-g++ aix-xlc hpux-n64 linux-g++ openunix-cc sunos-g++ win32-g++ bsdi-g++ hpux-o64 linux-icc qnx-g++ tru64-cxx win32-msvc hurd-g++ linux-kcc tru64-g++ win32-watc freebsd-g++ irix-64 macx-pbuilder ultrix-g++ win32-visa hpux-acc irix-g++ macx-g++ unixware-g hpux-acc irix-n32 solaris-64 unixware7-cc

• TQTDIR
  This must be set to where TQt is (or will be) installed. For example, c:\qt and \local\qt

Once the environment variables are set go into the tqmake directory, $TQTDIR/tqmake, e.g. C:\qt\tqmake. Now run make or nmake depending on your compiler.

When the make has completed, tqmake is ready for use.
