* On Mac: XCode 2.5 or later, compiling on 10.4 requires setting the
environment variable QTC_TIGER_COMPAT before running qmake
-We recommend that you build Qt Creator not in the source directory, but in a
-separate directory. To do that, use the following commands:
+You can build Qt Creator with
-mkdir $BUILD_DIRECTORY
-cd $BUILD_DIRECTORY
-qmake $SOURCE_DIRECTORY/qtcreator.pro
-make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)
+ cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY
+ qmake -r
+ make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)
+
+Installation ("make install") is not needed. It is however possible, using
+
+ make install INSTALL_ROOT=$INSTALL_DIRECTORY
