Qt for Mac OS X has some requirements that are given in more detail in the Qt for Mac OS X Requirements 文档。
The following instructions describe how to install Qt from the source package.
For the binary package, simply double-click on the Qt.mpkg and follow the instructions to install Qt. You can later run the
uninstall-qt.py
script to uninstall the binary package. The script is located in /Developer/Tools and must be run as root.
注意： Do not run the iPhone simulator while installing Qt. The iPhone simulator conflicts with the package installer .
If you have the commercial edition of Qt, install your license file as
$HOME/.qt-license
.
For the open source version you do not need a license file.
Unpack the archive if you have not done so already. For example, if you have the
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%.tar.gz
package, type the following commands at a command line prompt:
cd /tmp gunzip qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%.tar.gz # uncompress the archive tar xvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%.tar # unpack it
This creates the directory
/tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION%
containing the files from the archive.
To configure the Qt library for your machine type, run the
./configure
script in the package directory.
By default, Qt is configured for installation in the
/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%
directory, but this can be changed by using the
-prefix
选项。
cd /tmp/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-%VERSION% ./configure
类型
./configure -help
to get a list of all available options.
Note that you will need to specify
-universal
if you want to build universal binaries, and also supply a path to the
-sdk
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
-no-framework
选项。
Qt can also be configured to be built with debugging symbols. This process is described in detail in the 调试技术 文档。
To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools, and tutorials, type:
make
若
-prefix
is outside the build directory, you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools, and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:
sudo make -j1 install
This command requires that you have administrator access on your machine.
注意： There is a potential race condition when running make install with multiple jobs. It is best to only run one make job (-j1) for the install.
若以后需要在相同位置重新配置和重构 Qt，确保移除所有先前配置痕迹，通过进入构建目录并键入
make confclean
先于运行
configure
再次。
In order to use Qt, some environment variables need to be extended.
PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
This is done like this:
在
.profile
(if your shell is bash), add the following lines:
PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH export PATH
在
.login
(in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:
setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-%VERSION%/bin:$PATH
If you use a different shell, please modify your environment variables accordingly.
That's all. Qt is now installed.
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
qtdemo
on the command line or through the desktop's Start menu.
