Hi
in building Qt lighthouse I came across the configure switch
-developer-build
Configure help lists this as:
"Compile and link Qt with Qt developer options (including auto-tests
exporting)"
and the Getting Wtarted with Lighthouse -page says:
" -developer-build makes a library that does not need to be installed
somewhere else, as well as setting some other developer-friendly options"
But what does it actually mean?
When it says it does not need to be installed somewhere else
what does that mean?
Do I still have to 'make install' it?
And if I do, where it goes?
Can I use '-prefix' with it?
Should I use '-prefix' with it?
If I don't install it how are my Qt programs supposed to find
the Qt libraries?
And shell find my tools?
Googling and looking inside 'configure' did not really enlighten me?
configure/make costing 4 hours / try does not really encourage me to
experiment...
