If you can, you should use precompiled packages for your distribution.
But if you cannot use them, or they are not available, please read
2012-04-05 09:36:37 +02:00
this information before compiling.
2015-10-19 21:32:01 +02:00
After your binary is successfully compiled, you need to copy bin/ folder
2011-10-04 18:28:34 +02:00
from git to specific directory by your system you compiled for.
2011-10-17 09:57:07 +02:00
On Linux, you can easily do it by running make install.
2011-10-04 18:28:34 +02:00
If you are unsure where is the right place, you can check it directly from
2012-07-10 11:56:24 +02:00
QupZilla by clicking from Help Menu on Configuration Information, then in
2011-10-27 14:26:40 +02:00
Path section.

You may want to build QupZilla with debugging symbols (for generating
2012-02-26 12:12:38 +01:00
backtrace of crash) as easily as adding one line to src/defines.pri:
2012-04-02 21:05:06 +02:00
2011-10-27 14:26:40 +02:00
CONFIG += debug

or set environment variable by
2012-04-02 21:05:06 +02:00
2011-10-18 14:30:17 +02:00
$ export NAME="value"

PORTABLE_BUILD QupZilla won't write any data outside of path of execution.
2011-12-28 14:55:54 +01:00
It will also disable plugins by default.
2011-10-04 18:28:34 +02:00
(disabled by default)
2012-04-02 21:05:06 +02:00

2012-01-21 20:29:33 +01:00
blocking application window.
2012-04-02 21:05:06 +02:00
However, due to synchronous API, there is a possible crash when
2012-01-21 20:29:33 +01:00
closing browser windows with opened dialogs.
If you can take this risk and/or make sure you aren't closing browser
with opened dialogs, you may enable this option.
These dialogs are much more beautiful than normal QDialogs.

QUPZILLA_PREFIX You can define different prefix.
2011-10-27 14:26:40 +02:00
QupZilla binary will then be moved to PREFIX/bin/, use
PREFIX/share/qupzilla/ as datadir, PREFIX/share/applications for
desktop launcher and PREFIX/share/pixmaps for icon.
2016-02-14 10:20:51 +01:00
(default prefix is "/usr")

2016-02-07 16:38:22 +01:00
SHARE_FOLDER You can define the path of the share folder, i.e. /usr/share
QupZilla will then use SHARE_FOLDER/qupzilla as datadir,
SHARE_FOLDER/applications for desktop launcher and
2016-02-14 10:20:51 +01:00
SHARE_FOLDER/pixmaps for the icon. By default it is not defined
and files will be installed as described above.
(default share folder is "/usr/share")
example:
$ export SHARE_FOLDER="/usr/share"
