For example, to build only qtdeclarative, - and the modules it depends on: - - ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase <license> - make -j4 module-qtdeclarative - - This can save a lot of time if you are only interested in a subset of Qt5. - - - Hints - ===== - - The submodule repository qtrepotools contains useful scripts for - developers and release engineers. Consider adding qtrepotools/bin - to your PATH environment variable to access them. - - The qt5_tool in qtrepotools has some more features which may be of interest. - Try `qt5_tool --help'. - - - Building Qt5 from git - ===================== - See http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git and README.git - for more information. - See http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5 for the reference platforms. - - - Documentation - ============= - - After configuring and compiling Qt, building the documentation is possible by running - "make docs". - - After having built the documentation, you need to install it with the following - command: - - make install_docs - - The documentation is installed in the path set to $QT_INSTALL_DOCS. - Running "qmake -query" will list the value of QT_INSTALL_DOCS. - - Information about Qt 5's documentation is located in qtbase/doc/README - or in the following page: http://wiki.qt.io/Qt5DocumentationProject - - Note: Building the documentation is only tested on desktop platforms. |
