There are several reasons why you might want to do your own build of \QC,
|
|
|
|
|
like using the most current development version and being able to tweak
|
|
|
|
|
\QC at one or the other place. It is also necessary if you want to
|
|
|
|
|
create your own \QC plugin.

Prebuilt \QC packages usually use the latest stable release of Qt.
|
|
|
|
|
You can see the exact minimum requirement at the top of \QC's qtcreator.pro.
|

|
|
|
(You can find the current version in our source repository here:
|
2013-05-31 14:26:01 +02:00
|
|
|
\l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/blobs/master/qtcreator.pro}.)

|
|

|
2014-05-15 10:18:07 +02:00
|
|
|
You can get prebuilt Qt packages from the
|
|
|
|
|
\l{https://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/}{Qt Project download page}.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Qt as provided by your Linux distribution, you need to make sure that all
|
|
|
|
|
Qt development packages and private header packages are also installed.

\section1 Getting and Building \QC
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can get the \QC sources for a specific version either by using one of the
|
|
|
|
|
released source bundles, or from the Gitorious repository
|
|
|
|
|
\l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator}. If you intend to contribute to \QC
|
|
|
|
|
itself, you should use the repository from our Gerrit review tool as described
|
|
|
|
|
in the developer wiki here: \l{http://wiki.qt-project.org/Setting_up_Gerrit}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We strongly encourage you to do out-of-source builds of \QC (also called
|
|
|
|
|
shadow-builds).
|
|
|
|
|
After you put the \QC sources somewhere (lets call the path \c{<QtCreatorSources>})
|
|
|
|
|
you build it on Linux and Mac with
|
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
|
|
|
cd <QtCreatorSources>/..
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir qtcreator-build
|
|
|
|
|
cd qtcreator-build
|
|
|
|
|
<QtInstall>/bin/qmake -r <QtCreatorSources>
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
or the corresponding commands on Windows systems.
