How to create package for a Qt4 application in linux..?

[wysota]

Please tell me how to uninstall this qt_4.3.4_Static verion from my machine atleast.

Delete the directory containing the installation.

[joseph]

I am rebuilding Qt4.3.4 in STATIC mode , and type the command in my static directory called qt4.3.4_Static.

./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg

./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg

Now i am getting the following message

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'gmake'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'gmake install'.
Qt will be installed into /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4
 
To reconfigure, run 'gmake confclean' and 'configure'.

I don't know what i have to do next, either "gmake" or "make sub-src" ( as per the wiki.qtcentre.org ).

So can you people guid me to the right path ...?

[jpn]

gmake = GNU make, just invoke the command which is proposed.

Compiling sub-src target is advised because (as it says on wiki):

If you only type make (without the sub-src) then all examples and all demos will be build. With static libs this takes very much space (A test got about 3.8GiB big and it wasn't finished yet.), so I really don't recommend that way.

I can see a new folder "Trolltech" got created in the following way...

/usr/local/Trolltech   ===========>  Here also one "bin"  folder is there .So should i update this bin folder in PATH variable ....?

/usr/local/Trolltech   ===========>  Here also one "bin"  folder is there .So should i update this bin folder in PATH variable ....?

The next step i did was..............

make sub-src
su
make install_qmake

Please help me ..!!!!

Thanks for all your support

[wysota]

Did you call "make sub-src"?

[joseph]

Let me thank you all people ,especially to sunil thaha ,wysota , JPN ,who has given me the right link .

Here is what i did to build Qt4.3.4 in STATIC mode .
1) Downloaded qt4.3.4 from trolltech site
2) Copied to new folder Qt4.3.4_Static ( to differentiate dynamic version of Qt4.x which is already installed in my machine )
3) Changed folder to qt4.3.4_Static ie; ( cd /home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static )
4) typed the following command ...

./configure -static -release -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools
make
su                         //for switching to root user
make install

./configure -static -release -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools
make
su                         //for switching to root user
make install

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

N:B=> After the command 1-st command ./configure -static -release -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools ,the system will create a directory called Trolltech in the path /usr/local.

N:B=> After the command make install , if you are going to the directory /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.4/bin, you can see the following executable files....
=> qmake,uic3 ,uic ,moc , rcc

5) Edit the PATH variable in /etc/profile ,to call the qmake from the new directory ( /home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static/bin )

export PATH="/home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static/bin:$PATH"

export PATH="/home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static/bin:$PATH"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

6) Then finally i compiled the my application successfully using the following ..

/home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static/bin/qmake  myfile.pro
make clean
make

/home/myname/qt4.3.4_Static/bin/qmake  myfile.pro
make clean
make

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

7) Now checking the dependency ( of qt libraries ) in my executable file.

ldd  myExecutableFile

ldd  myExecutableFile

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i could see the following in console after ldd command ...

I think there is no dependent qt files for myExecutableFile

[joseph]

Can anybody explain what's the difference between the following statements...

1) ./configure -static -release  -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools
 
2) ./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg

1) ./configure -static -release  -nomake demos -nomake examples -nomake tools

2) ./configure -static -release -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libmng -qt-libjpeg

Why i am asking because i got application build using the 1-st command , so just wanted to know will there be any problem for the 1-st command

Thanks for all help

You should have issued configure with -prefix where/to/install/Qt, you know... Currently you have qmake in your home directory and the rest in /usr/local/Trolltech/...
