Create the file if it is not there already. <p> <ul> <li> QTDIR -- the directory in which you're building TQt <li> PATH -- to locate the <a href="moc.html#moc">moc</a> program and other TQt tools <li> MANPATH -- to access the TQt man pages <li> LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- for the shared TQt library </ul> <p> This is done like this: <p> In <tt>.profile</tt> (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the following lines: <p> <pre> QTDIR=/Developer/qt PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH MANPATH=$QTDIR/man:$MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH export QTDIR PATH MANPATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH </pre> <p> In <tt>.login</tt> (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines: <p> <pre> setenv QTDIR /Developer/qt setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/man:$MANPATH setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH </pre> <p> After you have done this, you will need to login again, or re-source the profile before continuing. <p> <li> If you have the commercial edition of TQt, install your license file as <tt>$HOME/.qt-license</tt>. <p> <li> Compile the TQt library, and build the example programs, the tutorial and the tools (e.g. <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a>) as follows. <p> Type: <pre> cd $QTDIR ./configure </pre> <p> This will configure the TQt library for your machine. Note that GIF support is turned off by default. Run <tt>./configure -help</tt> to get a list of configuration options. <p> To create the library and compile all examples and the tutorial: <pre> make </pre> If you have problems, see <a href="http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/">http://www.trolltech.com/platforms/</a>. <p> <li> Once you have built TQt, it is ready to use. If TQt has not been configured with the -static option, then in order to be able to launch TQt applications from the Finder you must place the relevant libraries in a directory where they can be found. We recommend making these symbolic links (if you have configured TQt with -thread please change the libqt below with libtqt-mt): <p> <pre> ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib /usr/lib ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib /usr/lib </pre> <p> You may need to have 'administrator' access to do this, (in which case, precede each command with <tt>sudo'</tt>, e.g. <tt>sudo ln -s ...</tt>). If you use sudo you'll be prompted for the administrator password. <p> If you do not have administrator access, or you would prefer to do a user install (rather than system install) of the libraries you can do (if you have configured TQt with -thread please change the libqt below with libtqt-mt): <p> <pre> ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libqt.3.dylib $HOME/lib ln -sf $QTDIR/lib/libtqui.1.dylib $HOME/lib </pre> </ol> <p> That's all! TQt is now installed. TQt's documentation can be read with TQt Assistant or by any web browser; the contents page is <tt>$QTDIR/doc/html/index.html</tt>. <p> <!-- eof --> <p><address><hr><div align=center> <table width=100% cellspacing=0 border=0><tr> <td>Copyright © 2007 <a href="troll.html">Trolltech</a><td align=center><a href="trademarks.html">Trademarks</a> <td align=right><div align=right>TQt 3.3.8</div> </table></div></address></body> </html>
