%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ qtchooser The qtchooser package contains a wrapper used to select between Qt binary versions. It is only needed if both Qt4 and Qt5 are installed for access via the /usr/bin directory. &lfs74_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &qtchooser-md5sum; Download size: &qtchooser-size; Estimated disk space required: &qtchooser-buildsize; Estimated build time: &qtchooser-time; qtchooser Dependencies Optional (for the testsuite) User Notes: If both Qt4 and Qt5 are installed on the system, then Qt4 should be set as default unless stated otherwise. Install qtchooser by running the following commands: make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && install -m644 doc/qtchooser.1 /usr/share/man/man1 /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf The /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf configuration file contains paths to the Qt binaries and libraries which will be used when the wrapper is run. It is ussually a symlink to a package specific file, such as 4.conf or 5.conf. In first case, when invoking the wrappers, Qt4 equivalents will be invoked. In second case, Qt5 equivalents will be invoked. Create the configuration files by running the following commands as the root user: install -dm755 /etc/xdg/qtchooser && cat > /etc/xdg/qtchooser/4.conf << "EOF" /usr/lib/qt4/bin /usr/lib EOF cat > /etc/xdg/qtchooser/5.conf << "EOF" /usr/lib/qt5/bin /usr/lib EOF To set Qt4 as the default, run the following command as the root user: ln -sfv 4.conf /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf To set Qt5 as the default, run the following command as the root user: ln -sfv 5.conf /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf You can also select default Qt using an environment variable. To set Qt4 as the default, run the following command: export QT_SELECT=4 To set Qt5 as the default, run the following command: export QT_SELECT=5 Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories assistant, designer, lconvert, linguist, lrelease, lupdate, moc, pixeltool, qcollectiongenerator, qdbus, qdbuscpp2xml, qdbusviewer, qdbusxml2cpp, qdoc, qdoc3, qglinfo, qhelpconverter, qhelpgenerator, qmake, qml, qml1plugindump, qmlbundle, qmlmin, qmlplugindump, qmlprofiler, qmlscene, qmltestrunner, qmlviewer, qtchooser, qtconfig, rcc, uic, uic3, xmlpatterns, and xmlpatternsvalidator None None Short Descriptions qtchooser is a wrapper used to select between Qt binary versions. qtchooser
