Archive qt5.

There are a large number of packages that needed to be changed to
remove qt5, but most are harmless. One package that is affected
is vlc where the gui interface is no longer available. Videos
can still be played from the command line and the kf6 dependency
on vlc is still satisfied.

If necessary qt5 can be restored for vlc.

Also three other files are archived that are no longer needed.

31 <application>Qt5</application> is a cross-platform application framework
32 that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical
33 user interface (GUI) (in which cases <application>qt5</application> is
34 classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI
35 programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers.
36 <!-- Neither of these use Qt5 in the book now
37 Two of the

160
161 <para>
162 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>qt5</application> in a
163 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, i.e.
164 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>. To do this, set the
165 following environment variable:
166 </para>
167
168<screen><userinput>export QT5PREFIX=/opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
169
170 <tip>
171 <para>
172 Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
173 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>
174 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
175 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt5-version;</filename>. To create a
176 versioned <application>qt5</application> directory after the
177 installation is complete, you may rename the directory and create a symlink:
178 </para>
179
180<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir -pv /opt/qt-&qt5-version;
181ln -sfnv qt-&qt5-version; /opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
182
183 <para>
184 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
185 <application>qt5</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
186 and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename> as the
187 prefix again. Which version of <application>qt5</application> you
188 use depends only on where the symlink points.

194 <sect2 role="installation">
195 <title>Installation of qt5</title>
196
197 <warning>
198 <para>
199 If <application>qt5</application> is being reinstalled into the
200 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
201 &root;, such as
202 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-qt5 based
203 window manager. It overwrites <application>qt5</application>
204 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
205 </para>
206 </warning>
207
208 <caution>
209 <para>
210 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
211 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
212 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.
213 </para>
214 </caution>
215
216 <note>
217 <para>
218 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing
219 <application>qt5</application> into the
220 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> hierarchy because it
221 becomes difficult to find components and to update to a new version.
222 If you do want to install <application>qt5</application> in
223 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the directories need to
224 be specified explicitly. In this case, set
225 <envar>QT5PREFIX=/usr</envar> and add the following to the configure
226 arguments below:
227 </para>
228
229<screen role="nodump"><userinput> -archdatadir /usr/lib/qt5 \

240 <para>
241 First, apply a patch to pull in the fixes curated by KDE for those
242 modules which are required by packages mentioned in this book:
243 </para>
244
245<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../qt-everywhere-opensource-src-&qt5-version;-kf5-1.patch</userinput></screen>
246
247 <para>
248 The patch is supposed to be used in a git repository. If it isn't, some
249 files that should be modified by <command>configure</command> after
250 applying the patch are not touched. Fortunately, it is enough to create a
251 <filename class="directory">.git</filename> directory in the
252 <filename class="directory">qmake</filename> directory where the
253 <command>configure</command> script is run:
254 </para>
255
256 <screen><userinput remap="pre">mkdir -pv qtbase/.git</userinput></screen>
257
258 <para>
259 At this point we want to set up skipping most components. Do that with:
260 </para>
261
262<screen><userinput>ls -Fd qt* | grep / | sed 's/^/-skip /;s@/@@' > tempconf &amp;&amp;
263sed -i -r '/base|tools|x11extras|svg|declarative|wayland/d' tempconf</userinput></screen>
264
265 <para>
266 If you want to install the <xref linkend='NetworkManager'/> examples, run:
267 <command>sed -i '/qtdoc/d' tempconf</command>.
268 </para>
269
270 <para>
271 If you choose to not install <xref linkend='qt6'/> and want to use qt5 with
272 wireshark, run: <command>sed -i '/qtmultimedia/d' tempconf</command>.
273 </para>
274
275 <para>
276 Now, install <application>qt5</application> by running the following
277 commands:
