Description

Qt is a cross-platform toolkit for developing applications, mainly GUI-based. There are some user documentation files in ${QT_DOC}, but the main documentation is in the qt5-html package. There is also a qt5-examples package, that contains tutorial, demos simple example programs (source + binaries). There's a debug version of the libraries: qt5-debug. There are database plugins: qt5-mysql, qt5-postgresql and qt5-tds. People who want to use Qt5 to compile applications outside the ports tree should note that Qt5's installation conforms to OpenBSD habits, not TrollTech's recommendations. Accordingly: - libs are separated from includes. - moc is installed as ${PREFIX}/bin/moc-qt5, in order not to conflict with other Qt versions. - uic is installed as ${PREFIX}/bin/uic-qt5 Generally, it's just a question of invoking: env MOC=moc-qt5 UIC=uic-qt5 configure \ --with-qt-includes=${PREFIX}/include/X11/qt5 \ --with-qt-libraries=${PREFIX}/lib/qt5 ... or, to force MOC/UIC in your make/gmake invocation: make MOC=moc-qt5 UIC=uic-qt5 will override the Makefile contents.
