Qt folders, why so many? osx

secretNinja

In my package manager I've selected Qt 4.7.2 and 4.6.3 under Symbian Toolchains. I'm using Qt SDK 1.1 RC. Are you using older release of it?

MAMartins

no, i think i'm using the same but i've installed qt SDK 1.1 that came with qt 4.7.1 and then i've downloaded only the source of qt 4.7.2 and installed it.

I would like to update qt creator to 2.2 and qt to 4.7.3 why the update manager don't do that alerting me?!

QtCreator is still beta .. I suppose this is the reason.

I'm using Windows by the way. Here you can see:

i've saw the files of a friend and i have folders and files that he doesn't. I'll clean my mac from qt and re-install it.

if i have already a beta i want the new beta with more features so I doubt that that is the reason..

DenisKormalev

Can you name what folders or files you have and your friend doesn't have?

secretNinja

The latest QtCreator beta is the one "here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/prereleases (I bet this is the one you and me have).

If you want something newer, you could use the snapshots "here":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/snapshots/ .

And if you want to be on cutting edge of QtCreator than you can build it from "sources":http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator

I don't have qt creator 2.2 but 2.1... so no it isn't that.

@denis at least this one: /Developer/Applications/Qt/ my friend don't have it. it downloaded qt 2 days ago, so he have qt creator 2.2 and qt 4.7.3

I'm not aware of how Qt files should be placed under macosx, but for me folder /Developer/Applications/Qt/ looks ok. It contains Qt tools.

MAMartins

i'll delete all and re-install qt with 4.7.3 and new creator will be like an uptade, and then i'll check again :)

MAMartins

ok, now i've understand it.

If i download the qt SKD, i choose a directory to install all the qt. that includes qt creator and qmake, etc. that was what i've installed first.

if I download the libraries them it installs qt in the /Developer and other paths as stated above.

but my program if I install the sdk gives me errors building my projects, I couldn't use the command to build the app for 32 bits for eg and etc.
If i install the libraries and use que qmake from /usr/bin instead of the one on my install sdk directory it works good. I could also delete the sdk install and install only the libs + qt creator 2.2, why this happens?

if i install the sdk on a folder is equal to building qt statically and the libs is building Qt as shared frameworks? if so I understand why my erros happen because it is sated here:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7.1/developing-on-mac.html#building-qt-statically

another question is why I don't have libs of qt 4.7.3?
and finally what is the different between this 2 versions:
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.2.dmg (206 MB, includes build and interface tools)

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.2-debug-libs.dmg (700 MB, libs only)

i've download the first one.

thanks

Difference between these two versions of libs is in debugging info in second libs and lack of tools there.
