+ INSTALLING Qt Source Package Version %VERSION%.
+
+1. If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
+ file as $HOME/.qt-license if you are on Unix. If you are on
+ Windows, copy the license file into your home directory
+ (this may be known as the userprofile environment variable) and
+ rename it to .qt-license. For example on Windows XP,
+ %USERPROFILE% should be something like C:\Documents and
+ Settings\username.
+
+ For the open source version you do not need a license file.
+
+2. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+ On Unix (X11 and Mac):
+ cd /tmp
+ gunzip %DISTNAME%.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
+ tar xvf %DISTNAME%.tar # unpack it
+
+ This creates the directory /tmp/%DISTNAME% containing the files
+ from the archive. We only support the GNU version of the tar
+ archiving utility. Note that on some systems it is called gtar.
+
+ On Windows, uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt
+ installed, e.g. C:\Qt\%VERSION%.
+
+ NOTE: The install path must not contain any spaces.
+
+4. Environment variables
+
+ In order to build and use Qt, the PATH environment variable needs
+ to be extended to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
+
+ On Windows, this is done by adding C:\Qt\%VERSION%\bin
+ to the PATH variable. On Unix, this is done by adding
+ /tmp/%DISTNAME%.
+
+ For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through
+ "Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment variables" and for
+ older versions by editing C:\autoexec.bat.
+
+ In .profile (if your Unix shell is bash), add the following lines:
+
+ PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
+ export PATH
+
+ In .login (in case your Unix shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
+
+ setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
+
+ If you use a different Unix shell, please modify your environment
+ variables accordingly.
+
+ For some X11 compilers that do not support rpath you must also
+ extended the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
+ /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/lib. On Linux or Mac with GCC
+ this step is not needed.
+
+4. Building
+
+4.1 Building on Unix
+
+ To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
+ ./configure script in the package directory.
+
+ By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
+ /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION% directory, but this can be
+ changed by using the -prefix option.
+
+ cd /tmp/%DISTNAME%
+ ./configure
+
+ Type "./configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
+
+ To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
+ and tutorials, type:
+
+ make
+
+ If you did not configure Qt using the -prefix-install option,
+ you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and
+ tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:
+
+ su -c "make install"
+
+ and enter the root password. On some systems, you have to use the
+ sudo command as follows:
+
+ sudo make install
+
+ and enter your password, this requires that you have administrator access
+ to your machine.
+
+ Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently,
+ e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to
+ use.
+
+ If you need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location,
+ ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed
+ by entering the build directory and typing
+
+ make confclean
+
+ before running the configure script again.
+
+4.2 Building on Windows
+
+ To configure the Qt library for your machine type:
+
+ C:
+ cd \Qt\%VERSION%
+ configure
+
+ Type "configure -help" to get a list of all available options.
+
+ If you are using the "-direct3d" option, make sure that you have
+ the Direct3D SDK installed, and that you have run the
+ %DXSDK_DIR%\Utilities\Bin\dx_setenv.cmd command, before attempting
+ to run configure.
+
+ The actual commands needed to build Qt depends on your development
+ system. For Microsoft Visual Studio to create the library and
+ compile all the demos, examples, tools and tutorials type:
+
+ nmake
+
+ If you need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location,
+ ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed
+ by entering the build directory and typing
+
+ nmake confclean
+
+ before running the configure script again.
+
+5. That's all. Qt is now installed.
+
+ If you are new to Qt, we suggest that you take a look at the demos
+ and examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos
+ either by typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the
+ desktop's Start menu.
