+ INSTALLING Qt/X11 Version 3.3.8
+
+
+You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of
+the directories where you choose to install Qt.
+
+
+1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+ cd /usr/local
+ gunzip qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
+ tar xvf qt-x11-free-3.3.8.tar # unpack it
+
+ This creates the directory /usr/local/qt-x11-free-3.3.8 containing the
+ files from the main archive.
+
+ Rename qt-x11-free-3.3.8 to qt (or make a symlink):
+
+ mv qt-x11-free-3.3.8 qt
+
+ The rest of this file assumes that Qt is installed in /usr/local/qt.
+
+
+2. Set some environment variables in the file .profile (or .login,
+ depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
+ file if it is not there already.
+
+ QTDIR - the directory in which you're building Qt
+ PATH - to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
+ MANPATH - to access the Qt man pages
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH - for the shared Qt library
+
+ Note that under IRIX the additional LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH and
+ LD_LIBRARY64_PATH variables are used for specifying library
+ search paths. Set the variable that matches your configuration, or
+ see the rld(5) man page for more information.
+ On AIX set LIBPATH and on HP-UX set SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+
+ This is done like this:
+
+ In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
+ following lines:
+
+ QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
+ PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+ export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+ In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
+
+ setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt
+ setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
+ setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+ After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
+ re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least $QTDIR
+ and $PATH are set. Without these the installation will halt with an error
+ message.
+
+ Note that the SGI MIPSpro o32 and Sun WorkShop 5.0 targets are no
+ longer supported as of Qt 3.3.
+
+3. Install your license file as $HOME/.qt-license.
+ For the free edition and evaluation version, you do not need a license
+ file.
+
+
+4. Building.
+
+ This step compiles the Qt library, and builds the example programs,
+ the tutorial, and the tools (e.g. Qt Designer).
+
+ Type:
+
+ ./configure
+
+ This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that
+ GIF support is turned off by default. Run ./configure -help
+ to get a list of configuration options. Read PLATFORMS for a
+ list of supported platforms.
+
+ To create the library and compile all the examples and the
+ tutorial, type:
+
+ make
+
+ If your platform or compiler is not supported, please contact us at
+ qt-bugs@trolltech.com so that we can assist you. If it is supported
+ but you have problems, see http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/ for
+ information on known issues.
+
+
+ At this point you have binaries created in $QTDIR (eg. $QTDIR/lib/
+ contains libqt.so). If, however, you would like to have your Qt
+ installed in a non-local installation you can run configure with
+ options splitting Qt into different areas for example:
+
+ ./configure -libdir /usr/local/lib -bindir /usr/local/bin -headerdir /usr/local/include/qt
+
+ If you supplied a custom install directory using the -prefix
+ parameter in step 2, you can:
+
+ make install
+
+ This will install Qt onto your machine using the paths you've set.
+ (See ./configure -help for more information). If you choose to
+ install Qt like this, remember that you must set your
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH to match your -libdir and your QTDIR to your
+ -headerdir (as described in (2) above).
+
+
+5. In very few cases you may need to run /sbin/ldconfig or something
+ similar at this point if you are using shared libraries.
+
+ If you have problems running the example programs, e.g. messages like
+
+ can't load library 'libqt.so.3'
+
+ you probably need to put a reference to the qt library in a
+ configuration file and run /sbin/ldconfig as root on your system.
+ And don't forget to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as explained in (2) above.
+
+
+6. The online HTML documentation is installed in /usr/local/qt/doc/html/
+ The main page is /usr/local/qt/doc/html/index.html
+ The man pages are installed in /usr/local/qt/doc/man/
+
+
+
+That's all. Qt is now installed.
