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.

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.

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 'libtqt.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.
