Installing both qt3 and qt4 on linux ( Fedora Core )

[vermarajeev]

Hi guys,
I have qt3 installed on my linux machine by default. I have also installed qt4 on the same machine. Can anyone please write the steps that I should follow to change from qt4 to qt3 or vice versa. I saw the same post but the details are not given.

Also how do I change the path from Qt4 to Qt3 in Kdevelop C/C++....

Presently I have qt4 installed at /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.3 and Qt3 at /usr/lib/qt-3.3....

Just call the appropriate qmake executable (so either /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.3/bin/qmake or /usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin/qmake) and all is fine. KDevelop (>= 3.4) has an option to switch between Qt3 and Qt4. Make sure it's using the correct qmake.

Hello friends,

How can I set the Qt path in KDevelop so that it can use either Qt3 or Qt4 for the perticular session...

I have set the environment variable PATH and QTDIR to Qt3 path but my KDevelop is still using Qt4...
and when i try to compile my Qt3 programs it gives error...

is there any options or settings to be done in KDevelop... if so where????

Thanks,
Veda

It all depends by the env vars that you set.
It is better to make a small script( perhaps with a paramter ) that changes the env vars. You should change:
- $QTDIR
- $PATH to point to $QTDIR/bin

Every time you switch, you unset the vars and set them again. You should be careful with the PATH variable, not to break it.
