= Build Instructions =

To build QtD, you need:
  * [http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/changelog.html dmd compiler] version >= 2.053
  * Qt 4 (development headers for all Qt packages)
  * [http://www.cmake.org/ cmake >= 2.6]

Build procedure:

{{{
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/qtd/repo qtd
cd qtd
mkdir build_dir
cd build_dir

cmake ../
make
sudo make install
}}}

If you want to build a 32 bit version of QtD, simply add `-m32` to the `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS`:

{{{
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m32
}}}

Ignore any warnings from the generator.

Congratulations - You have built and installed QtD!


----

You can try this "Hello World" example with QtD
to verify that it works.


{{{
#!d
module main;

import qt.gui.QApplication;
import qt.gui.QPushButton;

int main(string[] args)
{
    scope app = new QApplication(args);
    scope hello = new QPushButton("Hello World!");
    hello.show();
    return app.exec();
}
}}}


You can compile it with (assuming you haven't changed the install path):
{{{
dmd main.d -I/usr/local/include/d -L-L/usr/local/lib -L-lqtdgui -L-lqtdcore -L-lcpp_core -L-lcpp_gui -L-lQtGui -L-lQtCore
./main
}}}
