Improves the "everywhere else" usage instructions. #7

Closed oblitum closed 10 years ago

oblitum commented 10 years ago

Improves the installation instructions of the "everywhere else" section describing usage for Qt compiled from latest repository sources.

Thanks, but I'm afraid these instructions are not for "everywhere else". It's one more example that works in specific circumstances. If you'd like to add instructions that work in a real environment not yet listed, that'd be welcome, but otherwise we already have examples right above that last note that can be used as guidelines.

Ok. I think these are good general *nix guidelines for using from sources that I missed, the others are package and/or system specific and somewhat not clear how to map. I myself, as I have everything from repo, started by go get, got errors and figured out from them what I needed to do.

Ok, but what's your environment? We can have instructions for it as well. It's better to have realistic instructions that are known to work on a given environment than to provide wildcard ones that will fail in some cases (MacOS is a *nix, and these instructions do not work there, for example).

my environment is ubuntu using qt compiled with clang from sources, and go too compiled from repository sources. I think the same would apply for OS X too, if one is using stuff from repository sources (as I used to do on OS X).

The Windows setup is the simple one by providing raw path configurations, the others are a bit cluttered with package manager information and there's no simple notice about setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH and CGO_CPPFLAGS paths for *nix usage in general, which I think may be helpful.
