For the open source version you do not need a license file. \o Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example, if you have the \c{qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%.tar.gz} package, type the following commands at a command line prompt: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 0 This creates the directory \c{/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%} 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. \o Building To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the \c{./configure} script in the package directory. By default, Qt is configured for installation in the \c{/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%} directory, but this can be changed by using the \c{-prefix} option. \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 1 Type \c{./configure -help} to get a list of all available options. To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 2 If \c{-prefix} is outside the build directory, you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 3 , as root if necessary. Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently, e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to use. \bold{Note:} If you later 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 \c{make confclean} before running \c configure again. \o Environment variables In order to use Qt, some environment variables needs to be extended. \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 4 This is done like this: In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the following lines: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 5 In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 6 If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly. For compilers that do not support rpath you must also extended the \c LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include \c{/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/lib}. On Linux with GCC this step is not needed. \o 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 \c qtdemo on the command line or through the desktop's Main menu.

Integration with Visual Studio is available as part of the \l{Qt Commercial Edition}. \endlist \endtable \list 1 \o If you have the commercial edition of Qt, copy the license file from your account on dist.trolltech.com into your home directory (this may be known as the \c userprofile environment variable) and rename it to \c{.qt-license}. This renaming process must be done using a \e{command prompt} on Windows, \bold{not} with Windows Explorer. For example on Windows 2000, \c{%USERPROFILE%} should be something like \c{C:\Documents and Settings\username} For the open source version you do not need a license file. \o Uncompress the files into the directory you want Qt installed; e.g. \c{C:\Qt\%VERSION%}. \note The install path must not contain any spaces or Windows specific file system characters. \o Environment variables In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs to be extended: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 7 This is done by adding \c{c:\Qt\%VERSION%\bin} to the \c PATH variable. For newer versions of Windows, \c PATH can be extended through the \menu{Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment variables} menu. You may also need to ensure that the locations of your compiler and other build tools are listed in the \c PATH variable. This will depend on your choice of software development environment. \bold{Note}: If you don't use the configured shells, which is available in the application menu, in the \l{Open Source Versions of Qt}, \c configure requires that \c sh.exe is not in the path or that it is run from \c msys. This also goes for mingw32-make. \o Building To configure the Qt library for your machine, type the following command in a \bold{Visual Studio} command prompt: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 8 Type \c{configure -help} to get a list of all available options. If you have multiple compilers installed, and want to build the Qt library using a specific compiler, you must specify a \c qmake specification. This is done by pasing \c{-platform } to configure; for example: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 9 In some cases you need to set up the compilation environment before running configure in order to use the right compiler. For instance, you need to do this if you have Visual Studio 2005 installed and want to compile Qt using the x64 compiler because the 32-bit and 64-bit compiler both use the same \c qmake specification file. This is usually done by selecting \menu{Microsoft Visual Studio 2005|Visual Studio Tools|} from the \gui Start menu. 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: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 10 \note If you later 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 \c{nmake distclean} before running \c configure again. \o 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.

Note that you will need to specify \c{-universal} if you want to build universal binaries, and also supply a path to the \c{-sdk} option if your development machine has a PowerPC CPU. By default, Qt is built as a framework, but you can built it as a set of dynamic libraries (dylibs) by specifying the \c{-no-framework} option. Qt can also be configured to be built with debugging symbols. This process is described in detail in the \l{Debugging Techniques} document. To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 13 If \c{-prefix} is outside the build directory, you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 14 as root, if neccessary (note that this requires that you have administrator access to your machine). There is a potential race condition when running make install with multiple jobs. It is best to only run one make job (-j1) for the install. \bold{Note:} If you later 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 \c{make confclean} before running \c configure again. \o Environment variables In order to use Qt, some environment variables need to be extended. \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 15 This is done like this: In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash), add the following lines: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 16 In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_installation.qdoc 17 If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly. \o That's all.

The following table shows typical library sizes for the most common Qt libraries on different architectures, built in release mode with different feature profiles. \table \header \o{1,2} Architecture \o{1,2} Compiler \o{2,1} QtCore \o{2,1} QtGui \o{2,1} QtNetwork \o{2,1} QtWebKit \header \o Minimal \o Normal \o Minimal \o Normal \o Minimal \o Normal \o Minimal \o Normal \row \o linux-x86-g++ \o GCC 4.2.4 \o 1.7M \o 2.7M \o 3.3M \o 9.9M \o 653K \o 1.1M \o N/A \o 17M \row \o linux-arm-g++ \o GCC 4.1.1 \o 1.9M \o 3.2M \o 4.1M \o 11M \o 507K \o 1.0M \o N/A \o 17M \row \o linux-mips-g++ (MIPS32) \o GCC 4.2.4 \o 2.0M \o 3.2M \o 4.5M \o 12M \o 505K \o 1003K \o N/A \o 21M \endtable Library sizes are given in the following units: K = 1024 bytes; M = 1024K. QtWebKit is excluded from the minimal configuration. The \l{Fine-Tuning Features in Qt} document covers the process of configuring Qt builds to avoid the inclusion of unnecessary features. \section1 Additional X11 Libraries for QVFb The Virtual Framebuffer (QVFb) application requires the \c libxtst library in addition to the libraries used to build Qt for X11. This library enables the use of the Record extension to the X protocol to be used in applications. */ /*! \page requirements-symbian.html \title Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements \ingroup installation \brief Setting up the Symbian platform environment for Qt. \previouspage General Qt Requirements Qt for the Symbian platform requires the following software installed on your development PC: \list \o \l{http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/carbide_cpp/}{Carbide.c++ v2.0.0 or higher} \list \o \bold{Note:} It may be necessary to update the Carbide compiler. See \l{http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/patches/}{here} for instructions how to check your compiler version and how to patch it, if needed. \endlist \o \l{http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/releases}{ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 638 or higher} \list \o \bold{Note:} According to Symbian, version 5.6.1 build 638 is mandatory for building Symbian applications, but that version is no longer available from ActiveState. However, Qt for Symbian has been successfully compiled using both 5.8.x and 5.10.x versions. \endlist \o \l{http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/S60SDK/}{S60 Platform SDK 3rd Edition FP1 or higher} \list \o \bold{Note:} Users of \bold{S60 Platform SDK 3rd Edition FP1} also need special update. The update can be found \l{http://pepper.troll.no/s60prereleases/patches/}{here}. \endlist \o \l{http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/openc_cpp/}{Open C/C++ v1.6.0 or higher}. Install this to all Symbian SDKs you plan to use Qt with. \o Building Qt tools from scratch requires \l{http://www.mingw.org/}{MinGW 3.4.5 or higher}, or another windows compiler. \list \o \bold{Note:} This is not required if you are using pre-built binary package. \endlist \o Building Qt libraries requires \l{http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/RVCT.html}{RVCT} version 2.2 (build 686 or later), which is not available free of charge. Usage of later versions of RVCT, including the 3.x and 4.x series, is not supported in this release. \endlist Running Qt on real device requires the Open C to be installed on the device. The Open C installation packages are embedded into \c{qt_installer.sis}, which is included in Qt for Symbian binary package. If you are building Qt from scratch, you can find the required packages in the Symbian SDK where you installed Open C/C++: \list \o \c{nokia_plugin\openc\s60opencsis\pips_s60_.sis} \o \c{nokia_plugin\openc\s60opencsis\openc_ssl_s60_.sis} \o \c{nokia_plugin\opencpp\s60opencppsis\stdcpp_s60_.sis} \endlist If you wish to do hardware debugging with Carbide or run applications in real devices using "make run" command, TRK must be installed to the device. \bold{Note:} TRK is not required if you just want to install and run applications manually on the device. \list \o \l{http://tools.ext.nokia.com/trk/}{Application TRK}. Choose the correct installation package based on the S60 version of your device (S60__app_trk_.sisx). \endlist We recommend you to take a look at \l{http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Qt_Quick_Start}{Symbian Foundation - Qt Quick Start} to get more information about how to setup the development environment. \sa {Known Issues in %VERSION%} */
