How to install hvEdit --------------------- You need to have installed Qt version 3.0.3 or higher. Qt 3.0.3 is part of Redhat 7.3 or higher. 1) generating the Makefile from hvEdit.pro --------------------------------------- The Makefile is created by the following command: qmake hvEdit.pro If everything goes smoothly there should be a file Makefile. hvEdit.pro assumes that a system variable MIDAS_ROOT exists which points to the current midas directory. Furthermore there is a variable HOME in the hvEdit.pro file which might be modified by the user beforehand executing qmake. HOME points to the directory where hvEdit shall be installed. 2) Build hvEdit ------------ Simply execute make This will start the build procedure which takes some time. In order to transfer the binary and the startup-xmls to the proper directories execute make install In order to get rid of all the object files etc. you should execute at the end make clean which removes all necessary files again.
