libQGLViewer-2.8.0.so) in /usr/lib/usr/include/QGLViewer/usr/share/doc/QGLViewerqmake parameters let you customize your make install target installation directories:
qmake [PREFIX=...] [INCLUDE_DIR=...] [LIB_DIR=...] [DOC_DIR=...] [QGLVIEWER_STATIC=yes] [NO_QT_VERSION_SUFFIX=yes]A typical usage would be
qmake PREFIX=$HOME. Default values are:
- Param - - Default value - PREFIX /usr LIB_DIR PREFIX/lib INCLUDE_DIR PREFIX/include DOC_DIR PREFIX/share/docThe
QGLVIEWER_STATIC=yes option will compile a static version of the library.
glut library: uncomment
a line in QGLViewer.pro as explained there. glut can be installed from the freeglut-devel rpm or using apt-get
install libglut3-dev.
You may also want to install the libQGLViewer designer plugin to easily create user interfaces that integrate a QGLViewer using designer.
Qt installation on Linuxdev development package.
You can also directly download it.
Try to compile a simple Qt example and check the Qt FAQ page in case of problems. Consider compiling one of the Qt OpenGL examples to test your configuration.
Installation of the designer pluginDisplay
Widgets tab:
Edit the qglviewerPlugin code as indicated to create a similar designer plugin for your
derived QGLViewer class.
cd designerPlugin qmake make make installThe
designerPlugin directory is located in the tarball root directory or in
/usr/include/QGLViewer/designerPlugin if you installed QGLViewer from the RPM.
By default, the plugin is installed in $QTDIR/plugins/designer which is usually a system
directory. The make install step hence requires root privileges. With Qt4, you can
customize the plugin installation path using the qmake PREFIX=... syntax instead. Do
not forget to add this path to your QT_PLUGIN_PATH variable so that designer can find
the plugin.
libQGLViewer.so needs to be found by designer in order to load
the plugin. If you didn't make install the library, add the path to the .so (resp
.dylib with Mac) in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (resp. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH)
as explained in the Qt installation sections above.
See the interface example for an illustration of a Qt user
interface that includes a QGLViewer.
