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 qt4-qmlviewer

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.

Build Generic Linux Modules

Use the instructions found at SDK Build Environment for Linux Platform to generate the runtime libraries and mastering tools for the Linux platform.

You do not need to build the Rehearsal Player components (Actors/Roles/Mediarefs/Sets/Stages) found on that page since those instructions target the Coin 3D Inventor platform. The Qt Runtime Target uses OpenGL without the Coin 3D Scene Graph.

Build Qt Target Parts

TBD - describe how to build targets in Qt Createor.

Batch Build Instructions for Qt

Use the following instructions to build the Qt libraries in batch mode (without Qt Creator):

1. cd $MLE_HOME/build/linux
2. make qt_install
