Installation/How To Run QT/X11 (Ubuntu) 4.4.1.

[qoo]

Hi,

I followed the instructions available in "Installing QT/X11 Version 4.4.1.:

1. Open Source

2. cd /tmp
gunzip qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.1.tar.gz # uncompress the archive
tar xvf qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.1.tar # unpack it

3. Building with the ./configure -prefix-install option and "make" + "make install"

4. and in order to use QT...well that's what I'm not sure of...I located the .profile file in /ROOT dir and it looked like this:

# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ "$BASH" ]; then
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
fi

mesg n

...and since I have no idea how to edit this file I just added the PATH environment at the end like this:

# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.

if [ "$BASH" ]; then
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
fi

mesg n

PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.1/bin:$PATH
export PATH

So, my 1st question: Is the .profile file edited correctly (it was the only .profile file)

...and my 2nd question is: How the QT is supposed to run in X11 - via terminal or should one be able to find it in the Application Menu

I did try to run the QTdemo via terminal but it didn't work.

Confused! Who, me?

I did try to run the QTdemo via terminal but it didn't work.

What "didn't work" means in this case? Were there any error messages?

Doesn't Ubuntu have any ready-made packages with Qt4?

[LiCodeX]

can you be more specific as of what makes the confusion? and to whom?

[qoo]

Nothing happend and there were no error msgs.

Yes, there is older ready-make package of QT4.

What commands did you try to execute? Did you do that from a terminal emulator?

Yes, there is older ready-make package of QT4.

Maybe there's some "unstable" or "testing" repository with newer version?

4.4.1 is in intrepid repositories

And Qt 4.4.0 is available in hardy-backports.
