Basic Installation

Requirements

  1. A Linux or FreeBSD compatible operating system.
  2. At least the Qt 3.3* development library.

Installing from source

  1. Check to make sure you have your shell QTDIR environment variable set to point to the location of the root Qt directory. This setting is usually something like this: 'export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt' or something similar to this. Failure to set this properly will result in make errors.
  2. Unpack the Qtstalker source.
  3. ./configure (this will compile the Berkeley DB lib and create the Makefile)
  4. make
  5. make install (as root)
  6. Thats it.

Updating a previous version.

Updating from a previous source versionIf you are updating from a previous source version already installed on your system it is best that you first uninstall the previous version first before you install the upgraded version. Doing this will better ensure a problem free upgrade. Many upgrade errors can be caused by old plugins and libraries hanging around complicating things. You can uninstall the old version by doing a 'make uninstall' from the root directory of the old source install.

Binary package users can ignore this advice as this will be done automatically by the package installer.
