31 <para>
32 <application>Qt6</application> is a cross-platform application framework
33 that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical
34 user interface (GUI) (in which cases <application>Qt6</application> is
35 classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI
36 programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers.

150
151 <para>
152 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>Qt6</application> in a
153 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, i.e.
154 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt6</filename>. To do this, set the
155 following environment variable:
156 </para>
157
158<screen><userinput>export QT6PREFIX=/opt/qt6</userinput></screen>
159
160 <tip>
161 <para>
162 Sometimes the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
163 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt6</filename>
164 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
165 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt6-version;</filename>. To create a
166 versioned <application>Qt6</application> directory,
167 you may rename the directory and create a symlink:
168 </para>
169
170<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir -pv /opt/qt-&qt6-version;
171ln -sfnv qt-&qt6-version; /opt/qt6</userinput></screen>
172
173 <para>
174 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
175 <application>Qt6</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink,
176 create the new versioned directory, and recreate the
177 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt6</filename> symlink again before
178 building the new version.
179 Which version of <application>Qt6</application> you
180 use depends only on where the symlink points.
181 </para>
182 </tip>
183
184 <note>
185 <para>
186 If <xref linkend="qca"/> has been installed and you are
187 reinstalling or updating this package, then
188 <application>qca</application> will need to be reinstalled.

197 <warning>
198 <para>
199 If <application>Qt6</application> is being reinstalled into the
200 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
201 &root;, such as
202 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-Qt6 based
203 window manager. It overwrites <application>Qt6</application>
204 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
205 </para>
206 </warning>
207
208 <caution>
209 <para>
210 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
211 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
212 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.
213 </para>
214 </caution>
215
216 <note>
217 <para>
218 The build time and space required for the full
219 <application>Qt6</application> is quite long. The instructions below
220 do not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
221 <parameter>-nomake</parameter> line will create additional resources..
222 </para>
223 </note>
224
225 <note>
226 <para>
227 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing <application>Qt6</application>
228 into the /usr hierarchy because it becomes difficult to find
229 components and to update to a new version.
