Hello, I am trying to install qt3 and am having no luck. I am reading the qt3 install section and I'm not sure what this part means.

Quoted

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

I found two profiles in my machine, one in /etc/profile.d but I'm not sure how to add it, or even if that's the file I add it to.

Thanks for the help.

[edit] my shell is bash if that helps.

Hello 183

At first I created a file called .profile and added

[code:1]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[/code:1]

to it. I'm not sure if that would have worked or not as I didn't go any further. I am doing the way you suggested (enter sub-shell to isolate environment changes)
I opened a shell and typed bash, I didn't recieve any notification of any kind so I'll presume everyuthing is going ok. I then added the rest of the commands,

[code:1]
export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH[/code:1]

I then configured it. after that I ran make sub-tools. At the moment it's making.


If I open a shell and type env I get.

I am on Mandrake 9.2

Thanks for the assistance

I think I'm going to quit while I'm ahead, I don't want to mess anything up. I'm downloading Slackware at the moment and I'm going to play with that next. You don't happen to be on Slackware do you? :oops:
