Qt_Target_for_Linux_Platform

This documentation discusses how to set up a Qt target for the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit platform.

• Install Qt
  • Install QtCreator from Ubuntu Software Center
  • Add missing examples
  • Install Qt4.8.6 library dependencies
  • Add Qt4.8.6 SDK to QtCreator
  • Add Qt4.8.6 Desktop Kit to QtCreator
• Build Generic Linux Modules
• Build Qt Target Parts

Install Qt

To install Qt on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit platform, do the following:

Install QtCreator from Ubuntu Software Center

Installing QtCreator via Ubuntu Software Center will install the Qt5.2.1 SDK by default.

Add missing examples

The QtCreator installation does not install example code and documentation. So, do the following:

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples qtbase5-doc-html qt5-doc qt5-doc-html

Install Qt4.8.6 library dependencies

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui qt4-demos qt4-doc qt4-doc-html

Add Qt4.8.6 SDK to QtCreator

TBD - describe how to do this.

Add Qt4.8.6 Desktop Kit to QtCreator

TBD - describe how to do this.
