|

| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | <p> You may need to be logged in as root, depending on the permissions of
|
|---|
| 36 | the directories where you choose to install Qt.
|
|---|
| 37 | <p> <ol type=1>
|
|---|
| 38 | <li> Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
|
|---|
| 39 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 40 | cd /Developer
|
|---|
| 41 | gnutar xzf qt-mac-version.tar.gz
|
|---|
| 42 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <p> This creates the directory /Developer/qt-<em>version</em> containing the
|
|---|
| 45 | files from the main archive.
|
|---|
| 46 | <p> Rename qt-<em>version</em> to qt (or make a symlink):
|
|---|
| 47 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 48 | mv qt-version qt
|
|---|
| 49 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | <p> The rest of this file assumes that Qt is unpacked in <tt>/Developer/qt</tt>.
|
|---|
| 52 | <p> <li> Set some environment variables in the file <tt>.profile</tt> (or <tt>.login</tt>,
|
|---|
| 53 | depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
|
|---|
| 54 | file if it is not there already.
|
|---|
| 55 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 56 | <li> QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building Qt
|
|---|
| 57 | <li> PATH -- to locate the <a href="moc.html#moc">moc</a> program and other Qt tools
|
|---|
| 58 | <li> MANPATH -- to access the Qt man pages
|
|---|
| 59 | <li> LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared Qt library
|
|---|
| 60 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 61 | <p> This is done like this:
|
|---|
| 62 | <p> In <tt>.profile</tt> (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
|
|---|
| 63 | following lines:
|
|---|
| 64 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 65 | QTDIR=/Developer/qt
|
|---|
| 66 | PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
|
|---|
| 67 | MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
|
|---|
| 68 | DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | export QTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|---|
| 71 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | <p> In <tt>.login</tt> (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:
|
|---|
| 74 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 75 | setenv QTDIR /Developer/qt
|
|---|
| 76 | setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
|
|---|
| 77 | setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH
|
|---|
| 78 | setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|---|
| 79 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | <p> After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
|
|---|
| 82 | re-source the profile before continuing.
|
|---|
| 83 | <p> <li> If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
|
|---|
| 84 | file as <tt>$HOME/.qt-license</tt>.
|
|---|
| 85 | <p> <li> Compile the Qt library, and build the example programs,
|
|---|
| 86 | the tutorial and the tools (e.g. <a href="designer-manual.html">Qt
|
|---|
| 87 | Designer</a>) as follows.
|
|---|
| 88 | <p> Type:
|
|---|
| 89 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 90 | cd $QTDIR
|
|---|
| 91 | ./configure
|
|---|
| 92 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | <p> This will configure the Qt library for your machine. Note that
|
|---|
| 95 | GIF support is turned off by default. Run <tt>./configure -help</tt>
|
|---|
| 96 | to get a list of configuration options.
|
|---|
| 97 | <p> To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial:
|
|---|
| 98 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 99 | make
|
|---|
| 100 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 101 |
|
|---|
| 102 | If you have problems, see
|
|---|
| 103 | <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/">http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/</a>.
|
|---|
| 104 | <p> <li> Once you have built Qt, it is ready to use. If Qt has not been
|
|---|
| 105 | configured with the -static option, then in order to be able to
|
|---|
| 106 | launch Qt applications from the Finder you must place the relevant
|
|---|
| 107 | libraries in a directory where they can be found. We recommend
|
|---|
| 108 | making these symbolic links (if you have configured Qt with -thread
|
|---|
| 109 | please change the libqt below with libqt-mt):
|
|---|
| 110 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 111 | ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib /usr/lib
|
|---|
| 112 | ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqui.1.dylib /usr/lib
|
|---|
| 113 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 114 |
|
|---|
| 115 | <p> You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which
|
|---|
| 116 | case, precede each command with <tt>sudo'</tt>, e.g. <tt>sudo ln -s ...</tt>). If
|
|---|
| 117 | you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password.
|
|---|
| 118 | <p> If you do not have administrator access, or you would prefer to do
|
|---|
| 119 | a user install (rather than system install) of the libraries you
|
|---|
| 120 | can do (if you have configured Qt with -thread please change the libqt
|
|---|
| 121 | below with libqt-mt):
|
|---|
| 122 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 123 | ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib
|
|---|
| 124 | ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib
|
|---|
| 125 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 126 |
|
|---|
| 127 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 128 | <p> That's all! Qt is now installed. Qt's documentation can be read with
|
|---|
| 129 | Qt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is
|
|---|
| 130 | <tt>$QTDIR/doc/html/index.html</tt>.
