HOW TO BUILD Qt 5
=================
Synopsis
========
System requirements
------------------
- Perl 5.8 or later
- Python 2.7 or later
- C++ compiler supporting the C++98 standard
For other platform specific requirements,
please see section "Setting up your machine" on:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Get_The_Source
Optional requirements
---------------------
- OpenSSL for SSL sockets or HTTPS
- Wayland
New dependencies in Qt 5
------------------------
Linux: On systems running X11, the XCB libraries are required for
the platform plugin to build. qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README
lists the required packages.
Qt 5 can make use of the ICU libraries providing Unicode and Globalization
support (see http://site.icu-project.org/). They are required for building
QtWebKit.
On Linux, they will be auto-detected.
On Windows, they need to be manually installed and the "include" and "lib"
folders of the ICU installation must be appended to the INCLUDE and LIB
environment variables after calling the Windows SDK setup script.
The "bin" folder of the ICU installation should be appended to the PATH
environment variable in order to for the DLLs to be found at run-time.
Linux, Mac:
-----------
cd <path>/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-<version>
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
make -j 4
Windows:
--------
Open a Windows SDK (7.0, 7.1 or later) command prompt. Ensure that the
following tools can be found in the path:
* Perl version 5.12 or later [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/]
* Python version 2.7 or later [http://www.activestate.com/activepython/]
* Ruby version 1.9.3 or later [http://rubyinstaller.org/]
cd <path>\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-<version>
configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
nmake // jom // mingw32-make
For MinGW (gcc version 4.6 or later), ensure that the compiler can
be found in the path.
To accelerate the bootstrap of qmake with MSVC, it may be useful to pass
"-make-tool jom" on the configure command line. If you do not use jom,
adding "/MP" to the CL environment variable is a good idea.
More details follow.
Build!
======
A typical `configure; make' build process is used.
Some relevant configure options (see configure -help):
-release Compile and link Qt with debugging turned off.
-debug Compile and link Qt with debugging turned on.
-nomake tests Disable building of tests to speed up compilation
-nomake examples Disable building of examples to speed up compilation
-confirm-license Automatically acknowledge the LGPL 2.1 license.
Example for a release build:
(adjust the `-jN' parameter as appropriate for your system)
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource
make -j4
Example for a developer build:
(enables more autotests, builds debug version of libraries, ...)
./configure -developer-build -opensource
make -j4
See output of `./configure -help' for documentation on various options to
configure.
The above examples will build whatever Qt5 modules have been enabled by
default in the build system.
It is possible to build selected modules with their dependencies by doing
a `make module-<foo>'. For example, to build only qtscript and qtwebkit,
and the modules they depend on:
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource
make -j4 module-qtscript module-qtwebkit
This can save a lot of time if you are only interested in a subset of Qt5.
Building Qt5 from git
=====================
See http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git for more information.
Documentation
=============
After the configure step, building the documentation is possible by running
"make docs".
Example:
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource
make docs
The documentation is installed in the path set to $QT_INSTALL_DOCS.
Running "qmake -query" will list the value of QT_INSTALL_DOCS.
Information about Qt 5's documentation is located in qtbase/doc/README
or in the following page: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt5DocumentationProject
Note: Building the documentation is only tested on desktop platforms.
