\title Installation
The installation procedure is different for the different TQt platforms:
\list
\i \link install-x11.html Qt/X11 \endlink
\i \link install-win.html Qt/Windows \endlink
\i \link install-mac.html Qt/Mac \endlink
\i \link emb-install.html Qt/Embedded \endlink
\endlist
*/
/*! \page install-x11.html
\title Installing Qt/X11
You may need to be root, depending on the permissions of the directories
where you choose to install Qt.
\list 1
\i Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
\code
cd /usr/local
gunzip qt-x11-version.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
tar xf qt-x11-version.tar # unpack it
\endcode
This creates the directory /usr/local/qt-\e version containing the
files from the main archive.
Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink):
\code
mv qt-version qt
\endcode
The rest of this file assumes that TQt is installed in \c /usr/local/qt.
\i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login,
depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
file if it is not there already.
\list
\i TQTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt
\i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other TQt tools
\i MANPATH -- to access the TQt man pages
\i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared TQt library
\endlist
This is done like this:
In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
following lines:
\code
TQTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$TQTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$TQTDIR/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TQTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export TQTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
\endcode
In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
\code
setenv TQTDIR /usr/local/qt
setenv PATH $TQTDIR/bin:$PATH
setenv MANPATH $TQTDIR/man:$MANPATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $TQTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
\endcode
After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least \c $TQTDIR
is set. The installation will give an error message and not
proceed otherwise.
On AIX set LIBPATH and on HP-UX set SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Note that the SGI MIPSpro o32 and Sun WorkShop 5.0 targets are no
longer supported as of TQt 3.3.
\i Install your license file as \c $HOME/.qt-license.
For the free edition and evaluation version, you do not need a license
file.
\i Compile the TQt library, and build the example programs,
the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt
Designer\endlink) as follows.
Type:
\code
./configure
\endcode
This will configure the TQt library for your machine. Note that
GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help}
to get a list of configuration options. Read \c PLATFORMS for a
list of supported platforms.
To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
\code
make
\endcode
If you have problems, see
\l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}.
\i In very few cases you may need to run \c /sbin/ldconfig or something
similar at this point if you are using shared libraries.
If you have problems running the example programs, e.g. messages like
\code
can't load library 'libtqt.so.2'
\endcode
you probably need to put a reference to the qt library in a
configuration file and run \c /sbin/ldconfig as root on your system.
And don't forget to \c set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as explained in 2) above.
\i The online HTML documentation is installed in \c /usr/local/qt/doc/html/
The main page is \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/html/index.html}.
The man pages are installed in \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/man/}.
The documentation is also accessible using \link assistant.book Qt
Assistant\endlink.
\endlist
You're done. TQt is now installed.
*/
/*! \page install-win.html
\title Installing Qt/Windows
The Qt/Windows distribution is distributed as a self-extracting archive
with a built-in installer. Just follow the installation wizard.
*/
*/
/*! \page install-mac.html
\title Installing Qt/Mac
You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of
the directories where you choose to install Qt.
\list 1
\i Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
\code
cd /Developer
gnutar xzf qt-mac-version.tar.gz
\endcode
This creates the directory /Developer/qt-\e version containing the
files from the main archive.
Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink):
\code
mv qt-version qt
\endcode
The rest of this file assumes that TQt is unpacked in \c /Developer/qt.
\i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login,
depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
file if it is not there already.
\list
\i TQTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt
\i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other TQt tools
\i MANPATH -- to access the TQt man pages
\i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared TQt library
\endlist
This is done like this:
In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
following lines:
\code
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
\endcode
In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
\code
setenv TQTDIR /Developer/qt
setenv PATH $TQTDIR/bin:$PATH
setenv MANPATH $TQTDIR/man:$MANPATH
setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $TQTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
\endcode
After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
re-source the profile before continuing.
\i If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
file as \c $HOME/.qt-license.
\i Compile the TQt library, and build the example programs,
the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt
Designer\endlink) as follows.
Type:
\code
cd $TQTDIR
./configure
\endcode
This will configure the TQt library for your machine. Note that
GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help}
to get a list of configuration options.
To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
\code
make
\endcode
If you have problems, see
\l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}.
\i Once you have built Qt, 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):
\code
ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqt.3.dylib /usr/lib
ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib /usr/lib
\endcode
You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which
case, precede each command with \c sudo', e.g. \c{sudo ln -s ...}). If
you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password.
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):
\code
ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib
ln -sf $TQTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib
\endcode
\endlist
That's all! TQt is now installed. Qt's documentation can be read with
Qt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is
\c $TQTDIR/doc/html/index.html.
