32 <para>
33 <application>Qt5</application> is a cross-platform application framework
34 that is widely used for developing application software with a graphical
35 user interface (GUI) (in which cases <application>Qt5</application> is
36 classified as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI
37 programs such as command-line tools and consoles for servers. One of the
38 major users of <application>Qt</application> is <application>KDE
39 Frameworks 5 (KF5)</application>.
40 </para>
41
42 <para>
43 <application>Qt5</application> is made of several modules, which are not
44 all necessary for a given application. It has its own building tool
45 (<command>qmake</command>), and provides a complete development
46 environment. The instructions on this page allow to set up that
47 environment and to build basic modules.

144
145 <para>
146 The BLFS editors recommend installing <application>Qt5</application> in a
147 directory other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, ie
148 <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>. To do this, set the
149 following environment variable:
150 </para>
151
152<screen><userinput>export QT5PREFIX=/opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
153
154 <tip>
155 <para>
156 Sometimes, the installation paths are hardcoded into installed files.
157 This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename>
158 is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
159 class="directory">/opt/qt-&qt5-version;</filename>. To create a
160 versioned <application>Qt5</application> directory after the
161 installation is complete, you may rename the directory and create a
162 symlink:
163 </para>
164
165<screen role="root"><userinput>mkdir /opt/qt-&qt5-version;
166ln -sfnv qt-&qt5-version; /opt/qt5</userinput></screen>
167
168 <para>
169 Later on, you may want to install other versions of
170 <application>Qt5</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink
171 and use <filename class="directory">/opt/qt5</filename> as the
172 prefix again. Which version of <application>Qt5</application> you
173 use depends only on where the symlink points.

181
182 <warning>
183 <para>
184 If <application>Qt5</application> is being reinstalled into the
185 same directory as an existing instance, run the commands done by
186 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>, such as
187 <command>make install</command>, from a console or non-Qt5 based
188 window manager. It overwrites <application>Qt5</application>
189 libraries that should not be in use during the install process.
190 </para>
191 </warning>
192
193 <caution>
194 <para>
195 If you did not install some of the recommended dependencies, examine
196 <command>./configure --help</command> output to check how to disable
197 them or use internal versions bundled in the source tarball.

199 </caution>
200
201 <note>
202 <para>
203 The BLFS editors do not recommend installing <application>Qt5</application>
204 into the /usr hierarchy because it becomes difficult to find
205 components and to update to a new version. If you do want to install
206 <application>Qt5</application> in /usr, the directories need to
207 be specified explicitly. In this case, set QT5PREFIX=/usr and add
208 the following to the configure arguments below:
