Solved Development build - binary locations
-
Hello all,
I built qt5 following the Git instructions here: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git
However, I don't see any of the compiled binaries. configure and make both report no errors. I'm trying to understand how to refer programs to this path when I can't actually find these files myself. Can someone offer guidance?

You need a developer's build if you intend to modify Qt. Otherwise you need to provide
-prefix
to theconfigure
script. Thenmake
and ultimatelymake install
will install it in the location you specified as prefix. The binaries are in<QtDir>/lib
where<QtDir>
is the installation directory. -
I appreciate that. I was able to point my build script (for another program) to the <QtDir>/lib directory. With the exception of another issue that emerged (for which I must make a new thread), everything behaved more-or-less as expected.
