How to run qpdfview after extracting tar file

Asked by Alan Findly

I've extracted the file qpdfview-0.4.18.tar.gz .... this produced the directory qpdfview-0.4.18.

Now, do I have to compile/build .... or is there a run-time executable file already built???

The README file talks about building with qmake, but this does not work in that directory:

qmake qpdfview.pro

Is there a command line startup file?? .... (either qpdfview.pro or qpdfview.pri ???)

Am trying to do this on Fedora 32.

Please elaborate.

Thanks,
Alan Findly

Hello Alan,

that archive contains only the source code and most users will install packages provided by their distributions. If you do want to build from source, then

> qmake qpdfview.pro

is the correct first step. This will create Makefiles to perform the actual build which is then triggered via

> make

which will produce a qpdfview binary which can be run in place or installed via

> make install

Could you be more specific in what way running qmake does not work? Did you install the necessary development packages to build Qt-based software on Fedora?

Best regards,
Adam
