HOW TO BUILD
QT5================Synopsis========System requirements------------------- Perl 5.8 or later- Python 2.7 or later-
C++ compiler supporting the C++98 standardFor other platform specific requirements,please see section "Setting up your machine" on:
http://wiki.qt.io/Get_The_SourceLicensing:----------Opensource users:<source_package> = qt-everywhere-opensource-src-<version><license> = -opensourceCommercial users:<source_package> = qt-everywhere-enterprise-src-<version><license> = -commercialLinux, Mac:-----------cd <path>/<source_package>./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase <license> -nomake testsmake -j 4Windows:--------Open a
Windows SDK (7.0, 7.1 or later) command prompt. Ensure that thefollowing 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>\<source_package>configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase <license> -nomake testsnmake // jom // mingw32-makeTo 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 <license>make -j4Example for a developer build:(enables more autotests, builds debug version of libraries, ...)./configure -developer-build <license>make -j4See output of `./configure -help' for documentation on various options toconfigure.The above examples will build whatever Qt5 modules have been enabled bydefault in the build system.It is possible to build selected modules with their dependencies by doinga `make module-<foo>'. For example, to build only qtdeclarative,and the modules it depends on:./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase <license>make -j4 module-qtdeclarativeThis can save a lot of time if you are only interested in a subset of Qt5.Hints=====The submodule repository qtrepotools contains useful scripts fordevelopers and release engineers. Consider adding qtrepotools/binto your PATH environment variable to access them.The qt5_tool in qtrepotools has some more features which may be of interest.Try `qt5_tool --help'.Building Qt5 from git=====================See
http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git and README.gitfor more information.See
http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5 for the reference platforms.Documentation=============After configuring and compiling Qt, building the documentation is possible by running"make docs".After having built the documentation, you need to install it with the followingcommand:make install_docsThe 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/READMEor in the following page:
http://wiki.qt.io/Qt5DocumentationProjectNote: Building the documentation is only tested on desktop platforms.
