[Qt-creator] where should I install Qt Creator / Qt SDK, on Linux?

okay, but Qt Creator 1.2 is really old?  I wonder how long until the
openSUSE repo has Qt Creator 2.0?  Plus, if I'm doing cross-platform
development...  Isn't it best to have Qt Creator 1.3 on all platforms?  (And
Qt Creator 2.0 when it's released).


> You probably need to tell Qt Creator about your new Qt installation
(Tools->Options->Qt4->Versions). It is a known issue in 1.3, that the
installer writes the initial Qt Creator settings *for the root user* if you
install as root. So, if you'd start Qt Creator as root user, it would
already know about the new Qt version in /opt, but if you start as any other
user, it doesn't and you have to tell it manually.

You mean /opt/qtsdk-2010.02/qt/bin/qmake ?  Yes this worked.  However, when
I open a project, now it says I have to copy the project to a writable
location, to edit or compile the sample project.

So, overall, I guess I generally understand the difference...
/opt/qtsdk-2010.02/ is read-only and meant for the system,.  While
/home/user/[my user name]/qtsdk-2010.02/ is writable and meant only for my
user.  However, I still don't know which is the "right" / "best" / "ideal"
choice.  Sounds like the default of ( /user/[my user name]/qtsdk-2010.02/ )
is easier... unless I missed something?


thank you for info
