These are the libraries used by Hawaii Shell and other projects related to the Hawaii desktop environment.
In order to build and install these libraries you need Qt 5.0 or better with at least the following modules:
- qtbase
- qtdeclarative
You can either build Qt from git yourself or download binaries.
More information about building Qt from git can be found here:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git
Qt 5 binaries can be downloaded from http://qt-project.org/downloads
Building this module is a piece of cake.
Assuming you are in the source directory, just create a build directory and run cmake:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/hawaii ..
To do a debug build the last command can be:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/hawaii -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
To do a release build instead it can be:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/hawaii -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
If not passed, the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
parameter defaults to /usr/local.
You have to specify a path that fits your needs, /opt/hawaii is just an example.
Package maintainers would pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
.
The CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
parameter allows the following values:
- Debug: debug build
- Release: release build
- RelWithDebInfo: release build with debugging information
It's really easy, it's just a matter of typing:
make install
from the build directory.
