The extracted source code directory can only be deleted once the software has been built and installed.

	=== Source Code Extraction ===		=== Installation from Central Repository ===

			After the latest version has been pulled from its [https://github.com/qt/qt5 central repository] and placed within <code>/unix/pbt/software/src/qt</code>, create a build directory within the PBT software directory from which you can compile the code:

			<pre>
			cd /unix/pbt/software/build/
			mkdir qt-5.8.0
			cd qt-5.8.0
			</pre>

			<code>Qt</code> is then compiled using its <code>/configure</code> script with the following options. '''Note:''' Here, the software is to be installed into the development software directory using the command <code>-prefix /unix/pbt/software/dev/qt-5.8.0</code>. Define this as appropriate for your system.

			<pre>
			../../src/qt/configure -prefix /unix/pbt/software/dev/qt-5.8.0 -verbose -release -opensource -confirm-license -system-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-pcre -nomake tests -nomake examples -pkg-config -c++std c++14 -qt-xcb -fontconfig -system-freetype
			</pre>

			'''Note:''' the installation options used here are specific to <code>Qt v5.8.0</code> and are taken from Ben Morgan's [https://github.com/SuperNEMO-DBD/homebrew-cadfael/blob/master/Formula/qt5-base.rb script]. If installing a different version of <code>Qt</code>, it is likely that the configuration options may need to be different for your system.

			<code>Qt</code> can then be compiled and installed using the usual commands:

			<pre>
			make
			make install
			</pre>

	~~These instructions assume the code has already been built~~ for the '''~~Development~~''' environment ~~before building~~ for the '''~~Production~~''' ~~environment~~, so ~~some of the commands for~~ the '''Production''' ~~install~~ are ~~omitted~~.		It is possible to build for the '''Production''' environment without deleting the <code>Qt build</code> directory created for the '''Development''' installation, meaning that significant time is saved when running <code>make</code>.
	~~Although~~ it is ~~highly discouraged~~ to install straight to the '''Production''' environment without first compiling a '''Development''' version~~, it is possible to do so by adding in the directory creation commands at the start~~.		However, it isn't recommended to do so as the '''Production''' installation ends up referencing components within <code>/unix/pbt/software/dev</code> which is not desirable as the two environments are no longer independent.
			As such, these instructions assume one is building from scratch for each environment: to do so, make sure that the <code>build/qt</code> directory is deleted before recreating it for the subsequent build and install.

			Also, although it is possible to install straight to the '''Production''' environment, it is highly discouraged to do so without first compiling a '''Development''' version.
