113 <title>Installation of Qt4</title>
114
115 <para>There are several ways to install a complicated package such as
116 <application>Qt4</application>. The files are not completely position
117 independent. Installation procedures execute the program
118 <command>pkg-config</command> to determine the location of package
119 executables, libraries, headers, and other files. For
120 <application>Qt4</application>, <command>pkg-config</command> will look
121 for the appropriate <filename>lib/pkgconfig/Qt*.pc</filename> files which
122 must be modified if relocating the package. These files are set up correctly
123 by the build process.</para>
124
125 <para>The default installation places the files in
126 <filename class='directory'>/usr/local/qt/</filename>. Many commercial
127 distributions place the files in the system's
128 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. The package can
129 also be installed in an arbitrary directory.</para>
130
131 <para>The advantage of this method is that no updates to the
132 <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> or
133 <filename>/etc/man_db.conf</filename> files are required. The package
134 files are distributed within several subdirectories of the
135 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy.
136 This is the method that most commercial distributions use.</para>
137<!--
138 <note>
139 <para>There is no conflict between the <application>Qt3</application>
140 and <application>Qt4</application> applications and headers so both
141 can be installed at the same time. This may be necessary to build or
142 run Qt3 applications like <application>KDE3</application> and
143 <application>Qt4</application> applications like
144 <application>Doxygen</application>'s <application>doxywizard</application>
145 on the same system.
146 </para>
147
148 <para>To set up both <application>Qt3</application> and
149 <application>Qt4</application> on the same system, choose the primary
150 version for the <filename>/opt/qt</filename> symbolic link and add
151 the explicit library directory of the other version to
152 <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>.</para>
153
154 <para>On a system with both versions of Qt, there is a name conflict with
155 Qt applications such as <filename>qmake</filename>,
156 <filename>assistant</filename>, and <filename>designer</filename>. In
157 such a case, make sure the PATH variable lists the proper
158 <filename>/opt/qt&lt;version&gt;/bin</filename> directory before the
159 other Qt bin directory. </para>
160 </note>
161-->
162 <caution>
163 <para>If <application>Qt4</application> is being reinstalled and the
164 <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>
165 directory is used as the prefix, run the following commands from a
166 console or non-Qt4 based window manager. It overwrites
167 <application>Qt4</application> libraries that should not be in use during
168 the install process.</para>
169 </caution>
170
171 <note>
172 <para>The build time and space required for the full
173 <application>Qt4</application> is quite long. The instructions below do
174 not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
175 <parameter>-nomake</parameter> lines will create a complete build.</para>
176 </note>
177
178 <para>The method recommended by the <application>Qt4</application>
179 developers does not use the /usr directory prefix. It has the advantage of
180 keeping all the package files consolidated in a dedicated directory
181 hierarchy. By using this method, an update can be made without overwriting
182 a previous installation and users can easily revert to a previous version
183 by changing one symbolic link.</para>
184
185 <para>The <application>Qt4</application> developers use a default location
186 of <filename class='directory'>/usr/local/qt/</filename>, however the
187 procedure below puts the files in <filename
188 class='directory'>/opt/qt-&qt4-version;/</filename>
189 and then creates a symbolic link to <filename>/opt/qt/</filename>.</para>
190
191 <para>Configure <application>Qt4</application> by running the
192 following commands:</para>

206 <para>If <application>KDE4</application> is intended to be installed, add
207 <option>-no-phonon</option> to the <command>./configure</command> command
208 above. While installing <application>KDE4</application>, a separate version of the
209 <application>Phonon</application> libraries will be installed which better
210 matches the needs of the <application>KDE4</application> desktop.</para></note>
211
212 <para>If you are compiling with <application>GCC</application> 4.7 you need
213 to suppress some warnings that would otherwise cause the build to fail. This
214 can be achieved by modifying some Makefiles:</para>
