QT installation on Mac

want to know if it is adviseable to install the Qt SDK in the Developer/SDKs folder. I wanted to put it in there but I get the following warning: You have selected an existing, non-empty folder for installation. Note that it will be completely wiped on uninstallation of this application. It is not advisable to install into this folder as inst开发者_StackOverflow中文版allation might fail. Do you want to continue?

Where is the best place to put it. I had QT SDK installed earlier, but while compiling some examples he couldnt find the header files. The installation guide from trolltech is a bit confusing. Thanks in advance

The reason you are seeing that message from the Qt SDK installer is that it expects you to append a new folder name to the path. The default installation location for the Qt SDK is

~/QtSDK

If you wanted to place it in Developer/SDKs, you should enter

/Developer/SDKs/QtSDK

The /Developer/SDKs folder is the normal location for Mac OS X SDKs, as used by Xcode and the GNU toolchain. Xcode looks inside subfolders of /Developer/SDKs to populate the list of available SDKs in the Base SDK project setting, so I would avoid placing Qt here and leave that location for Mac system SDKs.
