1 This is just like any typical autotools-based project.

3 To install, it's as simple as:
4 0). autoreconf -i
5 This step is only necessary if you're cloning from the repository.
6 Tarballs will have this step done already.
7 1). ./configure
8 Configures the build, finds Qt and the necessary runtime libraries.
9
10 NOTE: If you don't have Qt binaries on your PATH (e.g. MacPorts),
11 you can temporarily add it by prepending `PATH=qt_path:$PATH"
12 before configuring.
13 2). make
14 Builds the package.
15 3). make install
16 Installs the package. Use a suitable permission escalator like sudo
17 or doas.
18
19 In some cases, the configure script will fail to find Qt. To solve this, put the
20 path containing qmake into your PATH or configure pkg-config with the correct
21 paths for Qt[5/6]Widgets.
22
23 On OS X/macOS, you'll probably want an app bundle. To create this, simply call
24 `scripts/osx/deploy_build.sh` from the build directory.
25 NOTE: This script relies on `macdeployqt` being in your PATH for it to work
26 properly.
