-Welcome to Qt 5
-===============
-
-Qt is a cross-platform application and user interface framework. It
-consists of a number of software libraries and development tools.
-
-Qt is developed as an open source project. It is available under both
-open source and commercial licenses.
-
-All information on Qt is available on the Qt Developer Network:
-http://qt-project.org
-
-Be sure to check out the release notes, which will list any known
-problems or limitations of this version:
-https://wiki.qt.io/Category:Release
-
-
-Overview
---------
-
-You can use the Qt 5 installation program to install the following components:
-
-- Qt libraries, prebuilt for a particular development platform (operating system
- and compiler)
-- Qt Creator integrated development environment (IDE)
-- Basic development tools, prebuilt for a particular development platform
-- Documentation
-- Qt in source code form (needed only if you want to build the framework and
- tools yourself)
-
-Install Qt libraries to develop or run applications that need the Qt runtimes or
-to try out example applications built with Qt.
-
-Qt Creator is designed to make Qt development easier, but you can also use a 3rd
-party IDE (such as MS Visual Studio), or just an editor and command line, in
-addition to basic Qt development tools (Qt Designer, Qt Assistant, qmlscene, and
-so on).
-
-
-Installing Qt 5
----------------
-
-You can download Qt 5 from http://qt-project.org/downloads. The site provides
-download links for all supported development platforms.
-
-Start the installation program like any executable on the development platform.
-On Linux, you might first have to make the installation program executable.
-
-Select the components that you want to install and follow the instructions of
-the installation program to complete the installation.
-
-Use the Maintenance Tool under <install_dir> to remove all installed
-components.
-
-
-Directory Structure
--------------------
-
-The default top-level installation directory is the directory "Qt<version>" in
-your home directory, but you can specify another directory (<install_dir>). On
-Windows, however, the default top-level installation directory is "C:\Qt\Qt<version>".
-Each Qt version is installed in the <install_dir>/<version> directory. This directory
-contains subdirectories for the Qt libraries (<compiler>) and sources (Src).
-The <compiler> directory contains subdirectories for development tools (bin) and
-examples.
-
-
-Starting Development Tools
---------------------------
-
-You can start Qt Creator directly after the installation by selecting the option
-on the last page of the installation program. You can start most of
-the development tools, such as GUI designers, compilers, and debuggers
-directly from Qt Creator. You can also access the installed documentation and
-example applications from Qt Creator.
-
-The development tools are located in the directory
-<install_dir>/<version>/<compiler>/bin. You can run them from Qt Creator or from
-the command line. You can also launch some of them as standalone applications.
-For example:
-
-- Qt Assistant, the Qt documentation reader
-- Qt QML Scene, the viewer for Qt Quick 2 files
-and - Qt Designer, the GUI designer for Qt widgets-based applications
-
-You can use Qt Creator to develop with other Qt versions as well:
-
- http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.6/creator-project-qmake.html
-
-
-Running Example Applications
-----------------------------
-
-You can open most example applications in the Qt Creator Welcome mode to build
-and run them. Additional examples can be opened by browsing
-<install_dir>/<version>/<compiler>/examples.
-
-Building Qt 5 from Source
--------------------------
-
-See <install_dir>/<version>/src/README and
-http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
-for instructions on building Qt from source.
-
-
-Developing Qt Applications
---------------------------
-
-To develop a Qt application, you need to set up a project. Qt Creator contains
-wizards that guide you step-by-step through the project creation process. The
-wizards prompt you to enter the settings needed for a particular type of project
-and create the necessary files for you. To start, select File > New File or
-Project.
-
-The wizards create projects that use the Qt build tool, qmake. It is a
-cross-platform system for build automation that helps simplify the build process
-for development projects across different platforms. You can modify the build
-and run settings for qmake projects in the Qt Creator Projects mode.
-
-Qt Creator provides support for building, running, and deploying Qt applications
-for different target platforms, or using different compilers, debuggers, or
-Qt versions. Kits define the tools, device type and other settings to use when
-building and running your project.
-
-The Qt 5 installation program adds the installed Qt version
-(<install_dir>/<version>/<compiler>/bin/qmake) to Qt Creator and creates a kit
-that specifies the installed Qt version and compiler. To use the kit, add it for
-your project in the Qt Creator Projects mode. Then select the kit in the Kit
-selector before you build or run the project.
-
-To compile C++ Qt applications by some other means, add
-<install_dir>/<version>/<compiler>/include to your build tool's search path
-for include files, and <install_dir>/<version>/<compiler>/lib to the search
-path for libraries.
