With assistance from the support group at Digia, I was able to solve this issue. For the sake of posterity, here is the procedure I followed to successfully install Qt 5.3.1 and Qt Creator 3.2.1 on CentOS 6.4 64-bit with MySQL support:
Please note: This entire process can take a couple of days to complete:
@1. Install CentOS 6.4 Basic Server + mysql and web server support.
2. yum update@
There will be hundreds of updates so this may take a several minutes (15 to 20 minutes).
Last time I did this, it installed 382 updates.
3. Install dependences for Qt:
as root:
@yum install libxcb libxcb-devel xcb-util xcb-util-devel
yum install flex bison gperf libicu-devel libxslt-devel ruby
yum install git
yum install gcc-c++
yum install mysql-devel
yum install libX11-devel
yum install libXrender-devel
yum install libusb-devel
yum install mesa-libGL-devel@
Install devtools
@wget http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/devtools-1.1.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d
sh -c 'echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/devtools-1.1.repo'
yum install devtoolset-1.1@
Download latest Qt from Git:
@git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt5.git qt5
cd qt5
git checkout stable
perl init-repository@
This will take 30 to 45 minutes.
Set the environment
By default, CentOS will set the following environmental variables:
QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3
QTINC=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
QTLIB=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib
These must be unset before proceeding.
@env | grep QT@
QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3
QTINC=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
QTLIB=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/lib
@unset QTDIR
unset QTINC
unset QT_IM_MODULE
unset QTLIB
env | grep QT@
Now set the environment to use dev tools
@scl enable devtoolset-1.1 bash@
Configure, build, and install shared version of Qt
@cd qt5
./configure -prefix /Qt/5.3.1_shared -shared -platform linux-g++-64 -opensource -confirm-license -debug-and-release -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib64/mysql -qt-sql-mysql @
Takes 15 - 30 minutes.
make
If installing on a multi-core virtual machine, type make -j# where # is the number of cores.
Takes 4 to 8 hours. Sometimes best to let it run over night.
As root from $HOME/qt5:
@make install@
Takes 20 minutes to an hour.
@make install docs@
Takes 20 minutes to an hour.
Download QtCreator from git
From $HOME as development user:
@git clone --recursive https://git.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator.git@
Create build directory for qtcreator
@mkdir qt-creator-build
cd qt-creator-build@
10 Set the environment:
@scl enable devtoolset-1.1 bash
export QTDIR=/Qt/5.3.1_shared
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
which qmake@
/Qt/5.3.1_shared/bin/qmake
Build Qt Creator
@qmake -v@
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.3.1 in /Qt/5.3.1_shared/lib
@qmake -r ../qt-creator/qtcreator.pro
make@
Takes 5 to 9 hours. Maybe another all nighter.
