    76 4. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
    77 ----------------------------
    78 
    79 ### 4.1. COMMON INFORMATION ###
    80 
    81 To be able ot build TSPSG you need to have the following Qt modules:
    82 QtCore, QtGui and QtSvg. The first two are required, the last one is
    83 optional. To get support for additional image formats (i.e., JPEG and
    84 TIFF) you'll additionally need corresponding Qt imageformats plugins.
    85 
    86 If you want to build TSPSG without SVG support add nosvg to qmake
    87 CONFIG parameter, so that qmake command will typically be:
     40**TSPSG** is oficially supported and tested on the following platforms:
     41
     42  - **Linux**: *Gentoo AMD64* and *Kubuntu 9.10 64-bit AMD*.
     43  - **Windows**: *Windows XP 32-bit* and *Windows 7 64-bit*.

     50### 4.1. Common Information ###
     51
     52To be able ot build **TSPSG** you need to have the following *Qt*
     53modules: *QtCore*, *QtGui* and *QtSvg*. The first two are required, the
     54last one is optional. To get support for additional image formats (i.e.,
     55**JPEG** and **TIFF**) you'll additionally need corresponding *Qt
     56imageformats* plugins.
     57
     58If you want to build **TSPSG** without **SVG** support add `nosvg` to
     59*qmake* `CONFIG` parameter, so that *qmake* command will typically be:
    8860
    8961    qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=nosvg
    9062
    91 This way you will not depend on QtSvg module but will not be able to
    92 export solution graph in SVG format.
    93 
    94 
    95 TSPSG uses qmake PREFIX parameter to determine installation path for
    96 make install command. If you don't specify it when running qmake, it
     63This way you will not depend on *QtSvg* module but will not be able to
     64export solution graph in **SVG** format.
     65
     66
     67**TSPSG** uses *qmake* `PREFIX` parameter to determine installation path
     68for make install command. If you don't specify it when running qmake, it
    9769will be assigned the default value depending on the platform:
    9870
    99  Platform          | Default PREFIX value
    100 -------------------|-------------------------------------
    101  Linux/UNIX/BSD    | /usr
    102 -------------------|-------------------------------------
    103  Windows           | %PROGRAMFILES% environment variable
    104                    | (usually, it is "C:\Program Files")
    105 -------------------|-------------------------------------
    106  Windows CE/Mobile | "\Program Files"
    107 -------------------|-------------------------------------
    108  Symbian           | <ignored>
    109 -------------------|-------------------------------------
    110 
    111 NOTE: Please, note that there are no installation and/or packaging
    112 rules for MacOS and other platforms not mentioned in this table.
    113 
    114 
    115 By default, TSPSG uses precompiled header when being built. If you
    116 experience problems with it you may add CONFIG+=nopch parameter to
    117 qmake to disable the generation and use of the precompiled header.
    118 
    119

     89### 4.2. General Procedure <a name="s42"></a> ###
    12190
    12291On most platforms the general building and installation procedure is:
    12392
    124   1. Run lrelease to generate binary translation files (.qm) from the
    125      source (.ts).
    126 
    127   2. Run qmake with CONFIG+=release parameter to generate makefiles.
    128 
    129   3. Run make utility (e.g., make, nmake, mingw32-make) to build TSPSG.
    130 
    131   4. Run make utility with 'install' parameter (without quotes).
    132 
    133 NOTE: It is important to run lrelease before qmake, or qmake will not
    134 "pick up" the translations when generating installation rules.
    135 
    136 
    137 ### 4.3. LINUX/UNIX/BSD ###
    138 
    139 Open a shell, navigate to the directory where you have TSPSG source
     93  1. Run `lrelease` to generate binary translation files (*.qm*) from
     94     the source (*.ts*).
     95  2. Run `qmake` with `CONFIG+=release` parameter to generate makefiles.
     96  3. Run `make` utility (e.g., *make*, *nmake*, *mingw32-make*) to build
     97     **TSPSG**.
     98  4. Run `make` utility with `install` parameter.
     99
     100**NOTE:** It is important to run `lrelease` before `qmake`, or `qmake`
     101will not "pick up" the translations when generating installation rules.
