33 <para>
34 <application>Qt5</application> is a cross-platform application framework
35 that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical
36 user interface (GUI) (in which cases <application>Qt5</application> is
37 classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI
38 programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers. One of the
39 major users of <application>Qt</application> is <application>KDE
40 Frameworks 5 (KF5)</application>.

151
152 <bridgehead renderas="sect3">Installing in /opt/qt5</bridgehead>
153
154 <para>
155 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>Qt5</application> in a
156 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, ie
157 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>. To do this, set the
158 following environment variable:
159 </para>
160
161<screen><userinput>export QT5PREFIX=/opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
162
163 <tip>
164 <para>
165 Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
166 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>
167 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
168 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt5-version;</filename>. To create a
169 versioned <application>Qt5</application> directory after the
170 installation is complete, you may rename the directory and create a symlink:
171 </para>
172
173<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir /opt/qt-&qt5-version;
174ln -sfnv qt-&qt5-version; /opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
175
176 <para>
177 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
178 <application>Qt5</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
179 and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename> as the
180 prefix again. Which version of <application>Qt5</application> you
181 use depends only on where the symlink points.
182 </para>
183 </tip>
184
185 <note>
186 <para>
187 If <xref linkend="qca"/> has been installed and you are
188 reinstalling or updating this package, then
189 <application>qca</application> will need to be reinstalled.

198 <warning>
199 <para>
200 If <application>Qt5</application> is being reinstalled into the
201 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
202 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, such as
203 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-Qt5 based
204 window manager. It overwrites <application>Qt5</application>
205 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
206 </para>
207 </warning>
208
209 <caution>
210 <para>
211 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
212 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
213 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.

218 <para>
219 The build time and space required for the full
220 <application>Qt5</application> is quite long. The instructions below
221 do not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
222 <parameter>-nomake</parameter> line will create a complete build.

226 <note>
227 <para>
228 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing <application>Qt5</application>
229 into the /usr hierarchy because it becomes difficult to find
230 components and to update to a new version. If you do want to install
231 <application>Qt5</application> in /usr, the directories need to
232 be specified explicitly. In this case, set QT5PREFIX=/usr and add
233 the following to the configure arguments below:
