This section is also important if you want to -change how the structure of the QtQuick3D pro files work. - -QtQuick3D is intended to be built in one of two ways: - -1) Normal developer way: - qmake && make -2) Package creation way: - qmake CONFIG+=package && INSTALL_ROOT=tmp make install - -In 1) the .pro files will cause the toolchain to place the libraries, plugins -header files and other components of QtQuick3D directly into place, as part of -the compile process. What does "in place" mean? Run "qmake -query" to see -the paths where the files are placed - QML plugins go in $$[QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS] -for example. In this mode, there is no need to run "make install" because the -files are already in their target destination. Here the "target destination" -means the Qt which is being built against. - -First note that QtQuick3D has to be installed into the target Qt. This is because -QtQuick3D has QML plugins and resources, as well as shared libraries, all of which -must be resolved by the QMLViewer of the target Qt at runtime. Here where "qmake" -is referred to it means the qmake inside the target Qt. Since QtDeclarative -recommends using QMLViewer when developing and debugging QML Apps, in the developer -case - which is what Qt3D is for - it has to install directly into the target Qt. - -In this mode 1) after the main library is compiled subsequent targets can simply -resolve includes and link time dependencies by use of qt3d.prf and qtquick3d.prf. -These two files are installed into the target Qt's makespecs/features directory -during the processing of the quick3d.pro file. - -In 2) the libraries, plugins and so on are sitting inside the build tree after -the compile step. As a result in order to resolve includes and dependencies -the build system has to navigate the build tree with paths like "-L../../../threed" -to locate the Qt3D libraries. - -Actually there is one build artifact that is not just left where it lands in the -build tree - the header files. These are actually copied into an "include" -directory inside the build root directory. This is because at present the header -files all live inside their own seperate subdirectories under "threed" and would -be too cumbersome to path in explicitly. - -After building the tree the install step is invoked using the INSTALL_ROOT environment -export to cause the installation rules to place all the files into a sandboxed -install tree, ready for packaging. +# build - using your Qt 4.8 +cd ~/build/qt/qt3d +~/build/qt/48/bin/qmake quick3d.pro +make |
