1Basic Installation of Qt-GUI Plugin for Licq
2=============================================
3
4Requirements for Qt-GUI:
5  - X11 header files (xfree-devel or xorg-devel)
6  - Qt 4.3.2 or greater. Most distributions come with packages like Qt and
7    Qt-devel, you need both, please install the missing ones!
8  - A C++ compiler and libstc++-devel.  This compiler must be the same
9          version that was used to compile Qt with.  If it is not, you will
10          probably experience a crash on startup.
11  - cmake 2.4.2 or greater.
12  - GNU make
13
14
15Optional:
16  - Hunspell including header files. Provides spell checking in Qt-Gui.
17          Note: If KDE 4 support is enabled, the built in spell checking in
18          KDE is used instead.

21Building instructions:
22  1. Unpack, build and install Licq and any other plugins you need.
23
24  2. Go to the Qt-Gui directory and make a build directory.
25     > cd plugins/qt-gui
26     > mkdir build
27     > cd build
28
29  3. Run cmake to generate build files.
30     > cmake ..
31     By default Qt-Gui is set to be installed in /usr/local. To specify a
32     different base directory specify an install prefix to cmake.
33     > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/licq ..
34     To build with KDE 4 support, add -DWITH_KDE=ON to the command line as
35     well.
36
37  4. Build Qt-Gui.
38     > make
39     Depending on your system, you may have to use gmake instead of make.
40
41  5. Install Qt-Gui. Unless you specified a base directory where you have
42     write privileges you must run this command as root.
43     > make install
