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. Two of the
36 major users of <application>qt</application> are <application>KDE
37 Frameworks 5 (KF5)</application> and <application>LXQt</application>.

45 They cover the components needed to build
46 packages in BLFS.

157
158 <para>
159 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>qt5</application> in a
160 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, i.e.
161 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>. To do this, set the
162 following environment variable:
163 </para>
164
165<screen><userinput>export QT5PREFIX=/opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
166
167 <tip>
168 <para>
169 Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
170 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>
171 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
172 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt5-version;</filename>. To create a
173 versioned <application>qt5</application> directory after the
174 installation is complete, you may rename the directory and create a symlink:
175 </para>
176
177<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir -pv /opt/qt-&qt5-version;
178ln -sfnv qt-&qt5-version; /opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
179
180 <para>
181 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
182 <application>qt5</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
183 and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename> as the
184 prefix again. Which version of <application>qt5</application> you
185 use depends only on where the symlink points.
186 </para>

190
191 <sect2 role="installation">
192 <title>Installation of qt5</title>
193
194 <warning>
195 <para>
196 If <application>qt5</application> is being reinstalled into the
197 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
198 &root;, such as
199 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-qt5 based
200 window manager. It overwrites <application>qt5</application>
201 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
202 </para>
203 </warning>
204
205 <caution>
206 <para>
207 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
208 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
209 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.
210 </para>
211 </caution>
212
213 <note>
214 <para>
215 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing
216 <application>qt5</application> into the
217 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename> hierarchy because it
218 becomes difficult to find components and to update to a new version.
219 If you do want to install <application>qt5</application> in
220 <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, the directories need to
221 be specified explicitly. In this case, set
222 <envar>QT5PREFIX=/usr</envar> and add the following to the configure
223 arguments below:
224 </para>
225
226<screen role="nodump"><userinput> -archdatadir /usr/lib/qt5 \
227 -bindir /usr/bin \

238 Now apply a patch to pull in the fixes curated by kde for those
239 modules which are required by packages mentioned in this book:
240 </para>
241
242<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../qt-everywhere-opensource-src-&qt5-version;-kf5-1.patch</userinput></screen>
243
244 <para>
245 The patch is supposed to be used in a git repository. Otherwise some
246 files that should be modified by <command>configure</command> after
247 applying the patch are not touched. Fortunately, it is enough to create a
248 <filename class="directory">.git</filename> directory in the
249 <filename class="directory">qmake</filename> directory where the
250 <command>configure</command> script is run:

256 At this point we want to set up skipping most components. Do that with:

265 </para>
266
267 <para>
268 If you choose to not install <xref linkend='qt6'/> and want to use qt5 with
269 wireshark, run: <command>sed -i '/qtmultimedia/d' tempconf</command>.
270 </para>
