<title>Installation of <application>Qt</application></title>
<para>There are several ways to install a complicated package such as <application>Qt</application>.
The files are not completely position independent. Installation procedures execute the
program <filename>pkg-config</filename> to determine the location of package executables, libraries,
headers, and other files. For <application>Qt</application>, <filename>pkg-config</filename> will
look for the file <filename>lib/pkgconfig/qt-mt.pc</filename> which must be modified if relocating the
package. This file is set up correctly by the build process.</para>
<para>The default installation places the files in <filename class='directory'>/usr/local/qt/</filename>.
Many commercial distributions place the files in the system's
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. The package can also be installed
in an arbitrary directory.</para>
<para>This section will demonstrate two different methods.</para>
<note><para>The build time for <application>Qt</application> is quite long. If you want to
save some time and don't want the tutorials and examples, change the first make line to:</para>
<para><userinput><command>make sub-tools</command></userinput></para>
</note>
<sect3>
<title>Method 1 - Installing in the <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy</title>
<para>The advantage of this method is that no updates to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>
or <filename>/etc/man.conf</filename> files are required. The package files
are distributed within several subdirectories of the <filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>
hierarchy. This is the method that most commercial distributions use.</para>

<sect3>
<title>Method 2 - Installing in <filename class='directory'>/opt</filename></title>
<para>This is the method recommended by the <application>Qt</application> developers. It
has the advantage of keeping all the package files consolidated in a dedicated directory
hierarchy. By using this method, an update can be made without overwriting a previous
installation and users can easily back up to a previous version by changing one symbolic
link.</para>
<para>The <application>Qt</application> developers use a default location of
<filename class='directory'>/usr/local/qt/</filename>, however this procedure puts the files
in <filename class='directory'>/opt/qt-&qt-version;/</filename> and then creates a
symbolic link to <filename>/opt/qt/</filename>.</para>

<title>Command explanations</title>
<para><command>sed -i "s:cp -f:install:" mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf</command>:
<command>install</command> is safer than <command>cp</command> when
libraries are in use.</para>
<para><command>bash</command>: This command enters a sub-shell to isolate
environment changes.</para>
<para><command>export QTDIR=$PWD</command>: This command
defines where the root of the Qt directory is located.</para>
<para><command>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib</command>: This command
sets up the location of libraries for the build process.</para>
<para><command>export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH</command>: This command
allows the build process to find supporting executables.</para>
<para><parameter>-qt-gif</parameter>: This switch adds support for gif
files to the libraries.</para>
<para><parameter>-system-zlib -system-libpng</parameter>: This switch
forces the library to use the shared libraries that are on your system
instead of recreating its own set of support libraries for these
functions.</para>
<para><parameter>-no-exceptions</parameter>: This switch disables
the exceptions coding generated by the <application>C++</application> compiler.</para>
<para><parameter>-thread</parameter>: This switch adds
support for multi-threading.</para>
<para><command>find -type f -name Makefile | xargs sed -i "s@-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib@@g"</command>:
This command removes hardcoded run-time path, else
<command>uic</command> tries to run with system installed Qt
libraries.</para>
<para><command>ln -s libqt-mt.so /usr/lib/libqt.so</command>: This
command allows configure scripts
to find a working <application>Qt</application> installation.</para>
<para><command>cp -r doc/man /usr/share (or /opt/qt/doc)</command>: This command
installs the man pages which are missed by <command>make install</command>.</para>
<para><command>cp -r examples /usr/share/doc/qt (or /opt/qt/doc)</command>: This command
installs the examples which are missed by <command>make install</command>.</para>
<para><command>exit</command>: This command returns to the parent shell
and eliminates environment variables set earlier.</para>
