Qt 4.8 - Build and install a single module

bundickt

Is there a way to make and install only the Qt opengl module.

I installed and built Qt 4.8 a while ago without the opengl module, but I am starting to work on a project that needs Qt's opengl module. I'm trying to avoid rebuilding all of Qt 4.8 if possible.

Hi,

How did you do that ?

I don't remember the exact configure command I called, but you can do the following:

tar xzf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tgz
cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6
./configure -no-opengl -prefix ~/Qt/4.8.6./gcc
make
make install

I think the -no-opengl argument is the defualt.

It's not the default. However, that option doesn't disable a module, it disable the use of OpenGL globally. You have to rebuild Qt.
