qt-3.3 install help

Hi all

I am using mandrake community 10 and kde 3.2.

I would like to upgrade to kde 3.3 but cannot get qt-3.3.3 installed.

I have read the install and readme files a couple of times at least now. Doesnt seem to be helping though.

I use the default /usr/local/qt as instructed.

Please help. :?:

and where exactly is your problem?
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/qt [opther options]
make
make isntall INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/qt-3.3.3

then you change to /tmp/qt-3.3.3 and make a package out of it (don't know how to do it with mandrake) and install it
worked for me

what about the mandrake package provided at trolltech.org?

Problem solved.

I installed a src rpm. This worked.

However, I cannot see why the tar.bz2 did not work.

I wanted to completely replace the kde 3.2 with 3.3. So I ./configure && make

then I intended to remove qt 3.2 from the system before make install of the qt-3.3.3.

But It seems that qt is wierd in so far as it does not compile in the same way as the majority of programs.

is that how you did it? ./configure && make? even if that had worked, you wouldn't be able to compile kde. see the instalation manual for the correct configure args to ./configure.

however, i also tried to build qt on my own and i failed miserably, but that came from wrong prefix arg and so i always got errors compiling kde. then i used the binpackage (slackware) and i found out that's the better way, because make install will not give you everything you need. it gives you libraries but there is whole lot more to qt. qmake for example will not be installed by make install
