INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prerequisites
-------------
It is assumed that you have a Qt 3.1 or later development environment
installed. Versions of Qt prior to 3.1 will not work. If you installed
Qt from binary packages, you might need to install an additional "devel"
package (e.g. qt31-devel.rpm) and possibly a "tools" package. In other
words, you need both Qt's headers and Qt's tools (e.g. moc, qmake).

Also, QTDIR should be set to the base directory where Qt is installed,
and $QTDIR/bin should be in your path. The instructions Qt's
INSTALL file explain one way to achieve this.

Building
--------
Change to the toplevel qtc directory. Most users can simply
run "qmake" with no parameters, which will configure QtC
for installation in /usr/local/lib. If you refer a different
location, use
	
	qmake "INSTALLDIR=<DIR>"
	
where <DIR> is the directory where the libraries (libqtc.so and
so forth) will be installed. For example, some might prefer

	qmake "INSTALLDIR=$KDEDIR/lib"
	
Next, run "make" to build the libraries. Then use
"make install" to place the libraries in their destination.
(You will probably need to be root for this.) If you have
installed the libraries in an unusual location, you might
need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf or add the location to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Finally, on Linux (and possibly other
platforms), run ldconfig to update the dynamic linker's
cache.
