As an alternative, you can use these debian packages generated using Alien and depending on the latest Qt version :
apt-get install libqglviewer_2.3.4_i386.deb libqglviewer-devel_2.3.4_i386.deb
rpm -Uvh libQGLViewer-2.3.4.i386.rpm libQGLViewer-devel-2.3.4.i386.rpmYou can also re-compile the RPM for optimal results:
rpmbuild --rebuild libQGLViewer-2.3.4.src.rpm cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i?86/ (or /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i?86, see the rpmbuild last log lines) rpm -Uvh libQGLViewer-*2.3.4.i?86.rpm
Change the RPM installation prefix, say to /usr/local
(default is
/usr
), using rpm -Uvh --prefix /usr/local ...
.
tar -xzf libQGLViewer-2.3.4.tar.gz cd libQGLViewer-2.3.4/QGLViewer qmake (see options below) make make install
You need root privileges to install the library, since default install paths are system directories.
Optionalqmake
parameters let you customize your make install
target installation directories:
qmake [PREFIX=...] [INCLUDE_DIR=...] [LIB_DIR=...] [DOC_DIR=...] [QGLVIEWER_STATIC=yes]A typical usage would be
qmake PREFIX=$HOME
. Default values are:
- Param - - Default value - PREFIX /usr LIB_DIR PREFIX/lib INCLUDE_DIR PREFIX/include DOC_DIR PREFIX/share/docWhen set, the
QGLVIEWER_STATIC
qmake option will compile a static version of the
library.
If your Qt version is lower than 3.1, you need to link with the glut
library: uncomment
a line in QGLViewer.pro
as explained there.
glut
can be installed from the freeglut-devel
rpm or using apt-get
install libglut3-dev
.
You may also want to install the libQGLViewer designer plugin to easily create user interfaces that integrate a QGLViewer using designer.
dev
development package.
Try to compile a simple Qt example and check the Qt FAQ page in case of problem. Consider compiling one of the Qt OpenGL examples to test your configuration.
With Qt version 3, you need to set some shell variables. If your shell isbash
or
zsh
(use echo $SHELL
to know), add these lines to your
.profile
:
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 (or /usr/lib/qt-3.3 or /usr/share/qt...) export PATH=${PATH}:${QTDIR}/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${QTDIR}/libIf you use
tcsh
or csh
instead, add these lines to your .login
:
setenv QTDIR /usr/lib/qt3 (or /usr/lib/qt-3.3 or /usr/share/qt...) setenv PATH ${PATH}:${QTDIR}/bin setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${QTDIR}/libSource this file or open a new shell to take these values into account. If you installed
libQGLViewer
in a custom directory, add the path to this directory in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
as is done above for ${QTDIR}/lib
.
tar -xzf libQGLViewer-2.3.4.tar.gz cd libQGLViewer-2.3.4/QGLViewer qmake INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include (for instance, see below) make make install
There is an include mismatch when the library is installed in /usr/lib
(default) which results
in a template with C linkage
error message. That's why you need to customize the INCLUDE_DIR
.
I unfortunately do not have a mac at hand to investigate. Let me know if you try. Do not forget to use the same
qmake
line when you compile the examples.
cd ../examples qmake makeWith Qt3, threads are activated with the
darwin-g++
version and disabled with macx
.
Add or remove thread
in the CONFIG
section of .pro
files
if this does not correspond to your Qt configuration.
If your Qt version is lower than 3.1, you need to link with the glut
library. Install
glut
and uncomment a line in QGLViewer.pro
as explained.
Qt/Mac
native version (also called macx
) designed for Aqua, and
released as a GPL Free Edition. It can freely be downloaded from Qt Software.darwin
version, that relies on the X11 implementation. You need to launch the X11 application to
run your programs and have to install Qt using the free
X11 edition.With Qt version 3, you have to define some variables as is detailed in the Qt linux section. Check their current values first.
If your shell isbash
or zsh
(use echo $SHELL
to know), add
these lines to your .profile
:
export QTDIR=/sw (if you use fink, or to set to where ever Qt was installed) export PATH=${PATH}:${QTDIR}/bin export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${QTDIR}/lib export QMAKESPEC=darwin-g++ (or macx-g++ or macx-xcode or macx-pbuilder)If you use
tcsh
or csh
instead, add these lines to your .login
:
setenv QTDIR /sw (if you use fink, or to set to where ever Qt was installed) setenv PATH ${PATH}:${QTDIR}/bin setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${QTDIR}/lib setenv QMAKESPEC darwin-g++ (or macx-g++ or macx-xcode or macx-pbuilder)Your
QMAKESPEC
should correspond to your Qt installation : macx-g++
(Qt/Mac),
macx-xcode
(XCode), macx-mwerks
(CodeWarrior), macx-pbuilder
(Project Builder)
or darwin-g++
for X11. Compile a simple Qt example to check your configuration.
If you installed libQGLViewer
in a custom directory, add the path to this directory in
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
as is done above for ${QTDIR}/lib
.

To compile and install the QGLViewer designer plugin, simply do:
cd designerPlugin qmake make make installThe
designerPlugin
directory is located in the tarball root directory or in
/usr/include/QGLViewer/designerPlugin
if you installed QGLViewer from the RPM.
By default, the plugin is installed in QTDIR/plugins/designer
which is usually a system
directory. The make install
step hence requires root privileges. With Qt4, you can
customize the plugin installation path using the qmake PREFIX=...
syntax instead. Do
not forget to add this path to your QT_PLUGIN_PATH
variable so that designer can find
the plugin.
libQGLViewer.so
needs to be found by designer
in order to load
the plugin. If you didn't make install
the library, add the path to the .so
(resp
.dylib
with Mac) in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(resp. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
)
as explained in the Qt installation sections above.
With Qt version 3, an alternative to this plugin is to add a "Custom Widget" using the Tools/Custom
designer menu. Load Descriptions... and to provide the qglviewer.cw
custom widget
description file, located in the QGLViewer header files directory. You can then set the header file path to
your customized QGLViewer and add your own signals and slots to the description.
