<h1 align="center">Installing Qt/Mac<br /><small></small></h1>
<p><b>Note for the binary package</b>: If you have the binary package, simply double-click on the Qt.mpkg and follow the instructions to install Qt. You can later run the <tt>uninstal-qt.py</tt> script to uninstall the binary package. The script is located in /Developer/Tools and must be run as root.</p>
<p>What follows is how to install Qt/Mac from the source package.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license file as <tt>$HOME/.qt-license</tt>.<p>For the open source version you do not need a license file.</p>
</li>
<li>Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example, if you have the <tt>qt-mac-opensource-desktop-%VERSION%.tar.gz</tt> package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:<pre> cd /tmp
gunzip qt-mac-opensource-desktop-%VERSION%.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
tar xvf qt-mac-opensource-desktop-%VERSION%.tar # unpack it</pre>
<p>This creates the directory <tt>/tmp/qt-mac-opensource-desktop-%VERSION%</tt> containing the files from the archive.</p>
</li>
<li>Building<p>To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the <tt>./configure</tt> script in the package directory.</p>
<p>By default, Qt is configured for installation in the <tt>/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%</tt> directory, but this can be changed by using the <tt>-prefix</tt> option. Alternatively, the <tt>-prefix-install</tt> option can be used to specify a "local" installation within the source directory.</p>
<pre> cd /tmp/qt-mac-opensource-desktop-%VERSION%
./configure</pre>
<p>Type <tt>./configure -help</tt> to get a list of all available options.</p>
<p>Note that you will need to specify <tt>-universal</tt> if you want to build universal binaries, and also supply a path to the <tt>-sdk</tt> option if your development machine has a PowerPC CPU. By default, Qt is built as a framework, but you can built it as a set of dynamic libraries (dylibs) by specifying the <tt>-no-framework</tt> option.</p>
<p>To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type:</p>
<pre> make</pre>
<p>If you did not configure Qt using the <tt>-prefix-install</tt> option, you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:</p>
<pre> sudo make install</pre>
<p>and enter your password, this requires that you have administrator access to your machine.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> If you later need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location, ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed by entering the build directory and typing <tt>make confclean</tt> before running <tt>configure</tt> again.</p>
</li>
<li>Environment variables<p>In order to use Qt, some environment variables need to be extended.</p>
<pre> PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools</pre>
<p>This is done like this:</p>
<p>In <tt>.profile</tt> (if your shell is bash), add the following lines:</p>
<pre> PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
export PATH</pre>
<p>In <tt>.login</tt> (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:</p>
<pre> setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH</pre>
<p>If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly.</p>
</li>
<li>That's all. Qt is now installed.<p>If you are new to Qt, we suggest that you take a look at the demos and examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos either by typing <tt>qtdemo</tt> on the command line or through the desktop's Start menu.</p>
