108
109 <para>There are several ways to install a complicated package such as
110 <application>Qt</application>. The files are not completely position
111 independent. Installation procedures execute the program
112 <command>pkg-config</command> to determine the location of package
113 executables, libraries, headers, and other files. For
114 <application>Qt</application>, <command>pkg-config</command> will look
115 for the file <filename>lib/pkgconfig/qt-mt.pc</filename> which must be
116 modified if relocating the package. This file is set up correctly by
117 the build process.</para>
118
119 <para>The default installation places the files in
120 <filename class='directory'>/usr/local/qt/</filename>. Many commercial
121 distributions place the files in the system's
122 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. The package can
123 also be installed in an arbitrary directory.</para>

133 <para>The build time for <application>Qt</application> is quite long. If

135 change the first <command>make</command> command to:</para>

142 <title>Method 1 - Installing in the '/usr' Hierarchy</title>
143
144 <para>The advantage of this method is that no updates to the
145 <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> or
146 <filename>/etc/man_db.conf</filename> files are required. The package
147 files are distributed within several subdirectories of the
148 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy.
149 This is the method that most commercial distributions use.</para>
150
151 <note>
152 <para>If <application>Qt</application> is being reinstalled, run the
153 following commands from a console or non-Qt based window manager.
154 It overwrites <application>Qt</application> libraries that should not
155 be in use during the install process.</para>

207 developers. It has the advantage of keeping all the package files

210 users can easily revert to a previous version by changing one symbolic
211 link.</para>

274 programs.</para>
