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

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

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 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, 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.

213 <note>
214 <para>
215 The build time and space required for the full
216 <application>Qt5</application> is quite long. The instructions below
217 do not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
218 <parameter>-nomake</parameter> line will create a complete build.

221
222 <note>
223 <para>
224 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing <application>Qt5</application>
225 into the /usr hierarchy because it becomes difficult to find
226 components and to update to a new version. If you do want to install
227 <application>Qt5</application> in /usr, the directories need to
228 be specified explicitly. In this case, set QT5PREFIX=/usr and add
229 the following to the configure arguments below:
