- Get The Submodules
- ==================
-
- Obtaining the source code is described in detail at
- http://qt-project.org/wiki/Category:Developing_Qt and
- http://qt-project.org/wiki/Get_The_Source.
-
- Cloning Qt5 does not automatically clone all submodules.
- To get the submodules, it is recommended to use the `init-repository' script.
-
- ./init-repository
-
- See `./init-repository -help' for full documentation on the many supported
- options.
-
-
- Update The Submodules (optional)
- ================================
-
- After a plain `git clone' and `init-repository', you will have each submodule
- checked out to a particular SHA1. This combination of SHA1s is guaranteed to
- have passed some basic acceptance testing.
-
- If (and only if!) you need newer versions of some submodules, you can manually
- fetch and/or pull and/or reset any modules you like, or use the qt5_tool to
- pull all modules:
-
- ./qtrepotools/bin/qt5_tool -p
-
- NOTE! As soon as you change the SHA1 of any submodule, you are using a
- combination of modules which is potentially untested and broken! If you want
- something which is more likely to compile, stick to the module SHA1s provided
- in this repository.
-
-
- Install The Git Grafts (optional)
- =================================
-
- If you want to be able to connect the Qt5 and Qt4 development history, you
- may set up git grafts with the following command:
-
- git submodule foreach '../qtrepotools/bin/git-qt-grafts <path_to_history>'
-
Build!
