                          INSTALLING Qtopia Core Version 4.3.5.

1.  If you have the commercial edition of Qtopia Core, install your
    license file as $HOME/.qt-license.

    For the open source version you do not need a license file.

2.  Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:

        cd /tmp
        gunzip qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.gz        # uncompress the archive
        tar xvf qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar          # unpack it

    This creates the directory /tmp/qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.5 containing the files
    from the archive. We only support the GNU version of the tar
    archiving utility. Note that on some systems it is called gtar.

3.  Building

    Before building the Qtopia Core library, run the ./configure
    script to configure the library for your deployment architecture.

    By default, Qtopia Core is configured for installation in the
    /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5 directory, but this
    can be changed by using the -prefix option. Alternatively, the
    -prefix-install option can be used to specify a "local"
    installation within the source directory.

        cd /tmp/qtopia-core-opensource-src-4.3.5
        ./configure -embedded [architecture]

    Typical architectures are x86 and arm. Type "./configure -help" to
    get a list of all available options.

    To create the library and compile all the demos, examples, tools,
    and tutorials, type:

        make

    On some systems the make utility is called differently, e.g. gmake.
    The configure script tells you which make utility to use.

    If you did not configure Qtopia Core using the -prefix-install
    option, you need to install the library, demos, examples, tools,
    and tutorials in the appropriate place. To do this, type:

        su -c "make install"

    and enter the root password.

    Note that on some systems the make utility is named differently,
    e.g. gmake. The configure script tells you which make utility to
    use.

    If you need to reconfigure and rebuild Qt from the same location,
    ensure that all traces of the previous configuration are removed
    by entering the build directory and typing

        make confclean

    before running the configure script again.

4.  Environment variables

    In order to use Qtopia Core, some environment variables needs to
    be extended.

        PATH    - to locate qmake, moc and other Qtopia Core tools

    This is done like this:

    In .profile (if your shell is bash, ksh, zsh or sh), add the
    following lines:

        PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5/bin:$PATH
        export PATH

    In .login (in case your shell is csh or tcsh), add the following line:

        setenv PATH /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5/bin:$PATH

    If you use a different shell, please modify your environment
    variables accordingly.

    For compilers that do not support rpath you must also extended the
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include
    /usr/local/Trolltech/QtopiaCore-4.3.5/lib. On Linux with GCC
    this step is not needed.

5.  That's all. Qtopia Core is now installed.

    Qtopia Core needs to run on a framebuffer. You can either use the
    Linux framebuffer or the Qt Virtual Framebuffer (qvfb). For a
    description of how to install qvfb please consult the
    documentation at:

	http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3.5/qtopiacore-qvfb.html

    Please note that qvfb requires a Qt/X11 installation.
