BuildingTo configure the Qt library for your machine type:
cd /tmp/qt-mac-opensource-desktop-4.1.5
./configure
Type ./configure -help to get a list of all available options. Note that you will need to specify -universal if you want to build universal binaries, and also supply a path to the -sdk option if your development machine has a PowerPC CPU.
By default, Qt is configured for installation in the /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.5 directory, but this can be changed by using the -prefix parameter.
To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type:
make
To install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type:
sudo make install
and enter the root password.
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 make confclean before running configure again.
Environment variablesIn order to use Qt, some environment variables need to be extended.
PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
This is done like this:
In .profile (if your shell is bash), add the following lines:
PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.5/bin:$PATH
export PATH
In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.1.5/bin:$PATH
If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly.
