Re: [qxmledit-discuss] Compiling QXmlEdit on Linux Mint

[Luca Bellonda]

Hello, I cross post the answer I did to another similar question:

the default installation uses /opt/qxmledit.

If you instead like to use standard paths for your distribution you
can customize the installation by using environment variables that
point to your official paths before calling qmake.
In the INSTALL file the variables are documented.

For example if you want to put the executable into a folder 'x'

export QXMLEDIT_INST_DIR=x
./compile.sh

You can check, as a reference, what the OpenSuse Packager did in the file:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Leap:42.2/qxmledit/qxmledit.spec
