<title>Introduction to Qt</title>
<para><application>Qt</application> is a cross-platform application
framework that is widely used for developing application software
with a graphical user interface (GUI) (in which cases Qt is classified
as a widget toolkit), and also used for developing non-GUI programs such
as command-line tools and consoles for servers. One of the major users
of <application>Qt</application> is <application>KDE</application>.</para>

<title>Installation of Qt</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
<command>pkg-config</command> to determine the location of package
executables, libraries, headers, and other files. For
<application>Qt</application>, <command>pkg-config</command> will look
for the appropriate <filename>lib/pkgconfig/Qt*.pc</filename> files which
must be modified if relocating the package. These files are 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>The advantage of installing in
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> is that no updates to the
<filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> or
<filename>/etc/man_db.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>
<caution>
<para>If <application>Qt</application> is being reinstalled and the
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename>
directory is used as the prefix, run the following commands from a
console or non-Qt based window manager. It overwrites
<application>Qt</application> libraries that should not be in use during
the install process.</para>
</caution>
<note>
<para>The build time and space required for the full
<application>Qt</application> is quite long. The instructions below do
not build the tutorials and examples. Removing the
<parameter>-nomake</parameter> lines will create a complete build.</para>
</note>
<para>The method recommended by the <application>Qt</application>
developers does not use the /usr directory prefix. 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 revert 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 the
procedure below puts the files in <filename
class='directory'>/opt/qt-&qt-version;/</filename>
and then creates a symbolic link to <filename>/opt/qt/</filename>.</para>
<para>Configure <application>Qt</application> by running the
following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure -prefix /opt/qt-&qt-version; \
-release \
-nomake examples \
-nomake demos \
-system-sqlite \
-no-nis \
-opensource \
-confirm-license &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<note><title>Phonon</title>
<para>If <application>KDE</application> is intended to be installed, add
<option>-no-phonon</option> to the <command>./configure</command> command
above. While installing <application>KDE</application>, a separate version of the
<application>Phonon</application> libraries will be installed which better
matches the needs of the <application>KDE</application> desktop.</para></note>
<para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>
