\endlist


\chapter Building for desktop

\code
    $ qmake
    $ make
\endcode

QML Live Bench can be started directly from build directory by executing
\c{./bin/qmllivebench}. Optionally it can be installed with

\code
    $ make install
\endcode


\chapter Building for device

\e{Note: Only needed when you want to have live reloading enabled on the
target.}

\code
    # using qmake from cross compiler toolchain
    $ qmake "CONFIG+=skip-bench skip-examples static-link-runtime"
    $ make
\endcode

You need to cross-compile QmlLive and copy the \c{./bin/qmlliveruntime} binary onto the
target.

Optionally it can be packaged with the help of

\code
    $ make install INSTALL_ROOT=...
\endcode


\chapter Building documentation

\code
    $ export QT_INSTALL_DOCS=$QTSRC/qtbase/doc
    $ make docs
\endcode
