\title Installing Qt/X11
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on platforms with X11.

\list 1
\o  If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
    file as \c{$HOME/.qt-license}.

    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-x11-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar.gz}
    package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:

\code
    cd /tmp
    gunzip qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar.gz        # uncompress the archive
    tar xvf qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar          # unpack it
\endcode

    This creates the directory \c{/tmp/qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.3.2}
    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-4.3.2} directory, but this can be
    changed by using the \c{-prefix} option. Alternatively, the
    \c{-prefix-install} option can be used to specify a "local"
    installation within the source directory.

\code
    cd /tmp/qt-x11-opensource-desktop-4.3.2
    ./configure
\endcode

    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:

\code
    make
\endcode

    If you did not configure Qt using the \c{-prefix-install} option,
    you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and
    tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:

\code
    su -c "make install"
\endcode

    and enter the root password.

    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.

\code
    PATH               - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
\endcode

    This is done like this:

    In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
    following lines:

\code
    PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/bin:$PATH
    export PATH
\endcode

    In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:

\code
    setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/bin:$PATH
\endcode

    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-4.3.2/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 Start menu.

\title Installing Qt/Windows
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on Windows.

\table
\row \o \bold{Notes:}
\list
\o If you have obtained a binary package for this platform,
consult the installation instructions provided instead of the ones in
this document.
\o \l{Qt Open Source Edition} is not officially supported for use with
any version of Visual Studio. Integration with Visual Studio is available
as part of the \l{Qt Commercial Editions}.
\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\4.3.2}.

    \bold{Note:} The install path must not contain any spaces.

\o Environment variables

    In order to build and use Qt, the \c PATH environment variable needs to be
    extended:

\code
    PATH               - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
\endcode

    This is done by adding \c{c:\Qt\4.3.2\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
    and for older versions by editing \c{c:\autoexec.bat}.

    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.

\o  Building

    To configure the Qt library for your machine type:

\code
    C:
    cd \Qt\4.3.2
    configure
\endcode

    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 <spec>} to configure; for example:

\code
    configure -platform win32-msvc
\endcode

    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|<Command Prompt>}
    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:

\code
    nmake
\endcode

    \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  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 Start menu.

\title Installing Qt/Mac
\ingroup installation
\brief How to install Qt on Mac OS X.

\bold{Note for the binary package}: If you have the binary package, simply double-click on the Qt.mpkg
and follow the instructions to install Qt. You can later run the \c{uninstal-qt.py}
script to uninstall the binary package. The script is located in /Developer/Tools and
must be run as root.

What follows is how to install Qt/Mac from the source package.

\list 1
\o  If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license
    file as \c{$HOME/.qt-license}.

    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-mac-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar.gz}
    package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:

\code
    cd /tmp
    gunzip qt-mac-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar.gz        # uncompress the archive
    tar xvf qt-mac-opensource-desktop-4.3.2.tar          # unpack it
\endcode

    This creates the directory \c{/tmp/qt-mac-opensource-desktop-4.3.2}
    containing the files from the archive.

\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-4.3.2} directory, but this can be
    changed by using the \c{-prefix} option. Alternatively, the
    \c{-prefix-install} option can be used to specify a "local"
    installation within the source directory.

\code
    cd /tmp/qt-mac-opensource-desktop-4.3.2
    ./configure
\endcode

    Type \c{./configure -help} to get a list of all available options.

    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:

\code
    make
\endcode

    If you did not configure Qt using the \c{-prefix-install} option,
    you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and
    tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:

\code
    sudo make install
\endcode

    and enter your password, this requires that you have administrator access
    to your machine.

    \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.

\code
    PATH               - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
\endcode

    This is done like this:

    In \c{.profile} (if your shell is bash), add the following lines:

\code
    PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/bin:$PATH
    export PATH
\endcode

    In \c{.login} (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:

\code
    setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.2/bin:$PATH
\endcode

    If you use a different shell, please modify your environment
    variables accordingly.

\o  That's all. Qt is now installed.
