<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>You can download the Qt 5 sources from the <a href="http://qt-project.org/downloads">Downloads</a> page. For more information, visit the <a href="gettingstarted.html">Getting Started with Qt</a> page.</p>
<p>Qt for X11 has some requirements that are given in more detail in the <a href="linux-requirements.html">Qt for X11 Requirements</a> document.</p>
<a name="step-1-installing-the-license-file-commercial-editions-only"></a>
<h2>Step 1: Installing the License File (commercial editions only)</h2>
<p>If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license file as <tt>$HOME/.qt-license</tt>.</p>
<p>For the open source version you do not need a license file.</p>
<a name="step-2-unpacking-the-archive"></a>
<h2>Step 2: Unpacking the Archive</h2>
<p>Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example, if you have the <tt>qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2.tar.gz</tt> package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:</p>
<pre class="cpp">cd <span class="operator">/</span>tmp
gunzip qt<span class="operator">-</span>everywhere<span class="operator">-</span>opensource<span class="operator">-</span>src<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5.3.2.tar.gz</span> <span class="preprocessor"># uncompress the archive</span>
tar xvf qt<span class="operator">-</span>everywhere<span class="operator">-</span>opensource<span class="operator">-</span>src<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5.3.2.tar</span> <span class="preprocessor"># unpack it</span></pre>
<p>This creates the directory <tt>/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2</tt> containing the files from the archive. We only support the GNU version of the tar archiving utility. Note that on some systems it is called gtar.</p>
<a name="step-3-building-the-library"></a>
<h2>Step 3: Building the Library</h2>
<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/Qt-5.3.2</tt> directory, but this can be changed by using the <tt>-prefix</tt> option.</p>
<pre class="cpp">cd <span class="operator">/</span>tmp<span class="operator">/</span>qt<span class="operator">-</span>everywhere<span class="operator">-</span>opensource<span class="operator">-</span>src<span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5.3.2</span>
<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">/</span>configure</pre>
<p>The <a href="configure-options.html">Configure Options</a> page contains more information about the configure options.</p>
<p>To create the library and compile all the examples, tools, and tutorials, type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">make</pre>
<p>If <tt>-prefix</tt> is outside the build directory, you need to install the library, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this (as root if necessary), type:</p>
<pre class="cpp">make install</pre>
<p>Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently, e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to use.</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>
<a name="step-4-set-the-environment-variables"></a>
<h2>Step 4: Set the Environment Variables</h2>
<p>In order to use Qt, some environment variables needs to be extended.</p>
<pre class="cpp">PATH <span class="operator">-</span> to locate qmake<span class="operator">,</span> moc and other <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qt.html">Qt</a></span> tools</pre>
<p>This is done like this:</p>
<p>In <tt>.profile</tt> (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the following lines:</p>
<pre class="cpp">PATH<span class="operator">=</span><span class="operator">/</span>usr<span class="operator">/</span>local<span class="operator">/</span><span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qt.html">Qt</a></span><span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5.3.2</span><span class="operator">/</span>bin:$PATH
<span class="keyword">export</span> PATH</pre>
<p>In <tt>.login</tt> (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:</p>
<pre class="cpp">setenv PATH <span class="operator">/</span>usr<span class="operator">/</span>local<span class="operator">/</span><span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qt.html">Qt</a></span><span class="operator">-</span><span class="number">5.3.2</span><span class="operator">/</span>bin:$PATH</pre>
<p>If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly.</p>
<p>For compilers that do not support rpath you must also extended the <tt>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</tt> environment variable to include <tt>/usr/local/Qt-5.3.2/lib</tt>. On Linux with GCC this step is not needed.</p>
