+\title Installation
+
+The installation procedure is different for the different Qt platforms:
+
+\list
+ \i \link install-x11.html Qt/X11 \endlink
+ \i \link install-win.html Qt/Windows \endlink
+ \i \link install-mac.html Qt/Mac \endlink
+ \i \link emb-install.html Qt/Embedded \endlink
+\endlist
+
+*/
+
+/*! \page install-x11.html
+
+\title Installing Qt/X11
+
+You may need to be root, depending on the permissions of the directories
+where you choose to install Qt.
+
+\list 1
+\i Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+\code
+ cd /usr/local
+ gunzip qt-x11-version.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
+ tar xf qt-x11-version.tar # unpack it
+\endcode
+
+ This creates the directory /usr/local/qt-\e version containing the
+ files from the main archive.
+
+ Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink):
+
+\code
+ mv qt-version qt
+\endcode
+
+ The rest of this file assumes that Qt is installed in \c /usr/local/qt.
+
+\i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login,
+ depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
+ file if it is not there already.
+
+ \list
+ \i QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt
+ \i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
+ \i MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages
+ \i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library
+ \endlist
+
+ This is done like this:
+
+ In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
+ following lines:
+
+\code
+ QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
+ PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+ export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+\endcode
+
+ In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
+
+\code
+ setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt
+ setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+ setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+\endcode
+
+ After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
+ re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least \c $QTDIR
+ is set. The installation will give an error message and not
+ proceed otherwise.
+
+ On AIX set LIBPATH and on HP-UX set SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+
+ Note that the SGI MIPSpro o32 and Sun WorkShop 5.0 targets are no
+ longer supported as of Qt 3.3.
+
+\i Install your license file as \c $HOME/.qt-license.
+ For the free edition and evaluation version, you do not need a license
+ file.
+
+\i Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs,
+ the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt
+ Designer\endlink) as follows.
+
+ Type:
+\code
+ ./configure
+\endcode
+
+ This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that
+ GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help}
+ to get a list of configuration options. Read \c PLATFORMS for a
+ list of supported platforms.
+
+ To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
+\code
+ make
+\endcode
+ If you have problems, see
+ \l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}.
+
+\i In very few cases you may need to run \c /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
+\code
+ can't load library 'libqt.so.2'
+\endcode
+ you probably need to put a reference to the qt library in a
+ configuration file and run \c /sbin/ldconfig as root on your system.
+ And don't forget to \c set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as explained in 2) above.
+
+\i The online HTML documentation is installed in \c /usr/local/qt/doc/html/
+ The main page is \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/html/index.html}.
+ The man pages are installed in \c{/usr/local/qt/doc/man/}.
+ The documentation is also accessible using \link assistant.book Qt
+ Assistant\endlink.
+\endlist
+
+You're done. Qt is now installed.

+
+/*! \page install-win.html
+
+\title Installing Qt/Windows
+
+The Qt/Windows distribution is distributed as a self-extracting archive
+with a built-in installer. Just follow the installation wizard.
+
+*/
+*/
+
+/*! \page install-mac.html
+
+\title Installing Qt/Mac
+
+You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of
+the directories where you choose to install Qt.
+
+\list 1
+\i Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+\code
+ cd /Developer
+ gnutar xzf qt-mac-version.tar.gz
+\endcode
+
+ This creates the directory /Developer/qt-\e version containing the
+ files from the main archive.
+
+ Rename qt-\e version to qt (or make a symlink):
+
+\code
+ mv qt-version qt
+\endcode
+
+ The rest of this file assumes that Qt is unpacked in \c /Developer/qt.
+
+\i Set some environment variables in the file \c .profile (or \c .login,
+ depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
+ file if it is not there already.
+
+ \list
+ \i QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt
+ \i PATH -- to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
+ \i MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages
+ \i LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library
+ \endlist
+
+ This is done like this:
+
+ In \c .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
+ following lines:
+
+\code
+ QTDIR=/Developer/qt
+ PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+ export QTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+\endcode
+
+ In \c .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
+
+\code
+ setenv QTDIR /Developer/qt
+ setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+ setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
+ setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+\endcode
+
+ After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
+ re-source the profile before continuing.
+
+\i If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
+ file as \c $HOME/.qt-license.
+
+\i Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs,
+ the tutorial and the tools (e.g. \link designer-manual.book Qt
+ Designer\endlink) as follows.
+
+ Type:
+\code
+ cd $QTDIR
+ ./configure
+\endcode
+
+ This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that
+ GIF support is turned off by default. Run \c{./configure -help}
+ to get a list of configuration options.
+
+ To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
+\code
+ make
+\endcode
+ If you have problems, see
+ \l{http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/}.
+
+\i Once you have built Qt, it is ready to use. If Qt has not been
+ configured with the -static option, then in order to be able to
+ launch Qt applications from the Finder you must place the relevant
+ libraries in a directory where they can be found. We recommend
+ making these symbolic links (if you have configured Qt with -thread
+ please change the libqt below with libtqt-mt):
+
+\code
+ ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib /usr/lib
+ ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib /usr/lib
+\endcode
+
+ You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which
+ case, precede each command with \c sudo', e.g. \c{sudo ln -s ...}). If
+ you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password.
+
+ If you do not have administrator access, or you would prefer to do
+ a user install (rather than system install) of the libraries you
+ can do (if you have configured Qt with -thread please change the libqt
+ below with libtqt-mt):
+
+\code
+ ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib
+ ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib
+\endcode
+\endlist
+
+That's all! Qt is now installed. Qt's documentation can be read with
+Qt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is
+\c $QTDIR/doc/html/index.html.
