is it possible to install qwt in a linux machine without being the administrator?

Hello everybody!!

Well, this is my problem. I have to build an aplication that works with graphics and in Qt for a scholl work, so i want to use qwt, but it isn't installed in the scholls machines and i haven't the permissions to install in the systems directories (usr, bin, ...), so... i'm wondering, is possible to install only in my home??


thanks very much!!

Yes, you can install it whereever you like it and then point qmake to it using the project file as you would do for any other library.

well, i forgot to say that i'm a very newbie linux user...

so... how can i redirect qmake?? and i think i need to say where i want to install in some Makefile (because the installation of the qwt is using qmake, make, make install). and i don't know where.


thanks everybody!!

Edit qwtconfig.pri and change the directory behind the INSTALLBASE keyword. Use a directory that you own, f.e something in your home directory.
