Set some environment variables in the file .profile (or .login,
depending on your shell) in your home directory. Create the
file if it is not there already.

QTDIR - the directory in which you're building Qt
PATH - to locate the moc program and other Qt tools
MANPATH - to access the Qt man pages
LD_LIBRARY_PATH - for the shared Qt library

This is done like this:

In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
following lines:

QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following lines:

setenv QTDIR /usr/local/qt
setenv PATH $QTDIR/bin:$PATH
setenv MANPATH $QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After you have done this, you will need to login again, or
re-source the profile before continuing, so that at least $QTDIR
and $PATH are set. Without these the installation will halt with an error
message.


On AIX set LIBPATH and on HP-UX set SHLIB_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you use IRIX MIPSpro o32 or Sun CC 5.0 you need to run the
qt32castcompat script found in $QTDIR/bin before compiling Qt.
