How do I move Qt SDK without any setup disruption?
-
Hi,
My understanding is that Qt maintenance tool maintains the location of sdk, controls the folder and also maintains desktop files etc.
i want to move the sdk folder to another folder so that I can have everything like workspace, projects, sdk, etc. condensed into one folder.
How do I move the current sdk folder into another folder without disrupting my setup?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Depending on your OS you'll have to patch Qt's binaries. It might be faster to just reinstall in the new location.

@SGaist that sucks. I guess I will just reinstall. I wanted to avoid 1GB of reinstallation.

There's always the patching of Qt that is possible, what OS are you running ?

@SGaist I am on Fedora 22. I suppose I will delete Qt related desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/, and ~/.config/QtProject. That should give me clean environment to start over.
PS:- Thanks for the welcome.

Depending on your needs, you can also use your distribution's Qt but it probably is a bit older.

@SGaist I was using my distribution's Qt but the book I am following recommends using the upstream sdk. That way I could focus more on the language than on the setup.

Fair enough
What book is it ?

@SGaist I am currently learning some QML so that I can create some basic KDE Plasma widgets for my personal use. https://qmlbook.github.io/

Good one, but doesn't require absolute latest version of Qt. Since you're developing some stuff for your KDE desktop, I'd say it simpler to stick with the same version you have for it, so you ensure that you are using the same set of plugins etc.
