Development is coordinated on the +kde-perl@mail.kde.org mailing-list. To subscribe, visit +http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-perl or send a subscribe message +to kde-perl-request@mail.kde.org. Please send patches and bug reports +to the mailing-list. + +This file contains instructions for downloading and building the SmokeQt +library and PerlQt. PerlQt is not a direct Perl interface to the Qt +library, but is rather an interface to the SmokeQt library generated by +Kalyptus. + +The programs+version I use, but not necessarily required: +Linux (oddly enough, most of the developers use Mandrake) +Perl-5.6.0 or above (tested up to 5.8.0-RC1) +Qt-3.0.1 or above (untested with 3.0.0, should work though) +automake-1.5 (KDE requires recent automake) +autoconf-2.53 (KDE requires recent autoconf) + +Make sure your $QTDIR environment-variable is set. + +I'm sorry for all the requirements, but you *are* getting this from +CVS. Release versions will be much easier and more independant. + +First, you need to download the development environment for smokeqt. +Please use compression for cvs downloads ('cvs -z4' in .cvsrc). + +$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.kde.org:/home/kde +$ cvs login # no password +$ cvs co -l kdebindings # downloads configure/makefile stubs +$ cvs co kdebindings/kalyptus # for generating smoke files from scratch +$ cvs co kdebindings/smoke # pre-generated smoke library +$ cd kdebindings # kdebindings/ +$ cvs co admin # get kde build tools + +At this point, you now have the full smokeqt environment. The +pre-generated smoke library is based off KDE's copy of Qt-3.0.4. I have +Qt-3.0.1, so I have to re-generate the files to match my installed +version of Qt. Here's how to do it. + +$ cd smoke/qt # kdebindings/smoke/qt/ +$ perl ./qtguess.pl # simple script to find disabled Qt features +$ perl ./generate.pl # calls kalyptus which generates code + +Now you have the SmokeQt source-code generated for your personal Qt +configuration. Here's how to compile. + +$ cd ../.. # kdebindings/ +$ make -f Makefile.cvs # create ./configure, will croak but succeed +$ ./configure # use --prefix or whatever options you want +$ cd smoke # kdebindings/smoke/ +$ make # this should succeed +$ make install # will install to --prefix from configure + +Okay, you now have libsmokeqt installed on your system. You can now +compile PerlQt. First, get the latest version of PerlQt-3. + +$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.perlqt.sf.net:/cvsroot/perlqt +$ cvs login # no password +$ cvs co PerlQt-3 +$ cd PerlQt-3 # PerlQt-3/ + +If you installed libsmokeqt in a non-standard library path, you will +need to edit Makefile.PL and add -L/your/lib/path to the LIBS +parameter. If any of the other options in Makefile.PL need changing for +your system, you will need to change it now. + +$ perl Makefile.PL +$ make + +Now PerlQt is built on your system. To test it out: + +$ cd tutorials # PerlQt-3/tutorials/ +$ perl runall.pl + +All 14 tutorials should run in order. As you close one program out by +clicking Quit or the window close button, the next should start. If all 14 +tutorials run without error and work like the C++ version, PerlQt is built +correctly and you can make install if you wish. If an error occurs which +you can't fix, contact the kde-perl mailing list and make a bug report. + +Good luck, +Ashley Winters <qaqortog@nwlink.com> |
