INSTALLING Qt Source Package Version %VERSION%.
-1. If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
- file as $HOME/.qt-license if you are on Unix. If you are on
- Windows, copy the license file into your home directory
- (this may be known as the userprofile environment variable) and
- rename it to .qt-license. For example on Windows XP,
- %USERPROFILE% should be something like C:\Documents and
- Settings\username.
+For full installation instructions for each supported platform, please
+see http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/installation.html, the file
+doc/html/installation.html in this package, or follow one of the following
+links:

+Embedded Linux: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/qt-embedded-install.html
+Mac OS X: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/install-mac.html
+Windows: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/install-win.html
+Windows CE: http://qt.nokia.com/doc/%VERSION%/install-wince.html

- For the open source version you do not need a license file.
-
-2. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
-
- On Unix (X11 and Mac):
- cd /tmp
- gunzip %DISTNAME%.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
- tar xvf %DISTNAME%.tar # unpack it
-
- This creates the directory /tmp/%DISTNAME% 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.
-
- On Windows, uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt
- installed, e.g. C:\Qt\%VERSION%.
-
- NOTE: The install path must not contain any spaces.
-
-4. Environment variables
-
- In order to build and use Qt, the PATH environment variable needs
- to be extended to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
-
- On Windows, this is done by adding C:\Qt\%VERSION%\bin
- to the PATH variable. On Unix, this is done by adding
- /tmp/%DISTNAME%.
-
- For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through
- "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for
- older versions by editing C:\autoexec.bat.
-
- In .profile (if your Unix shell is bash), add the following lines:
-
- PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
- export PATH
-
- In .login (in case your Unix shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
-
- setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
-
- If you use a different Unix shell, please modify your environment
- variables accordingly.
-
- For some X11 compilers that do not support rpath you must also
- extended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
- /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/lib. On Linux or Mac with GCC
- this step is not needed.
-
-4. Building
-
-4.1 Building on Unix
-
- To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
- ./configure script in the package directory.
-
- By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
- /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION% directory, but this can be
- changed by using the -prefix option.
-
- cd /tmp/%DISTNAME%
- ./configure
-
- Type "./configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
-
- To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
- and tutorials, type:
-
- make
-
- If you did not configure Qt using the -prefix-install option,
- you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and
- tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:
-
- su -c "make install"
-
- and enter the root password. On some systems, you have to use the
- sudo command as follows:
-
- sudo make install
-
- and enter your password, this requires that you have administrator access
- to your machine.
-
- Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently,
- e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to
- use.
-
- If you 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
-
- make confclean
-
- before running the configure script again.
-
-4.2 Building on Windows
-
- To configure the Qt library for your machine type:
-
- C:
- cd \Qt\%VERSION%
- configure
-
- Type "configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
-
- If you are using the "-direct3d" option, make sure that you have
- the Direct3D SDK installed, and that you have run the
- %DXSDK_DIR%\Utilities\Bin\dx_setenv.cmd command, before attempting
- to run configure.
-
- 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:
-
- nmake
-
- If you 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
-
- nmake confclean
-
- before running the configure script again.
-
-5. That's all. Qt is now installed.
-
- 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 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the
- desktop's Start menu.
