Installing Qt binary packages

Note that Geopsy package is developed and tested with Qt 4.5.0 or higher. At the time of writing this documentation, Qt 4.5.0 is not the standard version of most of the distribution listed here below. It will not be the case in a close future.

Ubuntu

Gentoo

Install Qt:

 emerge -av qt

You can wait for half an hour or so. Then, you are ready to install geopsy software.

At the present time, to get Qt 4.5.1, you have to accept unstable keywords.

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -av qt

or

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -av qt

Fedora

TODO: graphical presentation

Tested on Fedore Core 10 for i386 target.

Package to install:

qt-devel

By default, Qt 4 on Fedora comes with suffix -qt4 added to development tools (qmake, lrelease,...) The best option is to define alias in your profile or symbolic links to these binaries

cd
test -d bin || mkdir bin
cd bin
ln -s /usr/bin/qmake-qt4 qmake
ln -s /usr/bin/lrelease-qt4 lrelease

Add ~/bin to you PATH (more information)

Check that qmake is available.

qmake -v

open SUSE
