Installation of QupZilla

Install QupZilla by running the following commands:

export QUPZILLA_PREFIX=/usr &&
qmake                       &&
make

The export command is used for configuring the build. Alternatively, you can add the environment variable to src/defines.pri. The choice of /usr prefix is due to the general characteristics of this program, which can be used without LXQt.

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install

If desktop-file-utils-0.23 and xdg-utils-1.1.1 are installed, run as, the root user:

xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor &&
update-desktop-database -q
