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

171
172 <para>
173 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>Qt5</application> in a
174 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, ie
175 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>. To do this, set the
176 following environment variable:
177 </para>
178
179<screen><userinput>export QT5PREFIX=/opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
180
181 <tip>
182 <para>
183 Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
184 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>
185 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
186 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt5-version;</filename>. To create a
187 versioned <application>Qt5</application> directory after the
188 installation is complete, you may rename the directory and create a symlink:
189 </para>
190
191<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir -pv /opt/qt-&qt5-version;
192ln -sfnv qt-&qt5-version; /opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
193
194 <para>
195 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
196 <application>Qt5</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
197 and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename> as the
198 prefix again. Which version of <application>Qt5</application> you
199 use depends only on where the symlink points.
200 </para>
201 </tip>
202
203 <note>
204 <para>
205 If <xref linkend="qca"/> has been installed and you are
206 reinstalling or updating this package, then
207 <application>qca</application> will need to be reinstalled.

216 <warning>
217 <para>
218 If <application>Qt5</application> is being reinstalled into the
219 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
220 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, such as
221 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-Qt5 based
222 window manager. It overwrites <application>Qt5</application>
223 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
224 </para>
225 </warning>
226
227 <caution>
228 <para>
229 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
230 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
231 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.

235 <note>
236 <para>
237 The build time and space required for the full
238 <application>Qt5</application> is quite long. The instructions below
239 do not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
240 <parameter>-nomake</parameter> line will create a complete build.

244 <note>
245 <para>
246 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing <application>Qt5</application>
247 into the /usr hierarchy because it becomes difficult to find
248 components and to update to a new version. If you do want to install
249 <application>Qt5</application> in /usr, the directories need to
250 be specified explicitly. In this case, set QT5PREFIX=/usr and add
251 the following to the configure arguments below:
