Documentation. Qmake provides a project-oriented system for managing the buildprocess for applications, libraries, and other components.

Documentation

This approach gives developers control over the source files used, and allows each of the steps in the process to be described concisely, typically within a single file. qmake expands the information in each project file to a Makefile that executes the necessary commands for compiling and linking. In this document, we provide a basic introduction to project files, describe some of the main features of qmake, and show how to use qmake on the command line.

Describing a Project Projects are described by the contents of project (.pro) files. The information within these is used by qmake to generate a Makefile containing all the commands that are needed to build each project. Qmake Tutorial. This tutorial teaches you how to use qmake.

qmake Tutorial

We recommend that you read the qmake user guide after completing this tutorial. Starting off Simple Let's assume that you have just finished a basic implementation of your application, and you have created the following files: hello.cpphello.hmain.cpp You will find these files in the examples/qmake/tutorial directory of the Qt distribution. We'll add the source files to the project file first. SOURCES += hello.cpp We repeat this for each source file in the project, until we end up with the following: SOURCES += hello.cpp SOURCES += main.cpp If you prefer to use a Make-like syntax, with all the files listed in one go you can use the newline escaping like this: Building Qt Static (and Dynamic) and Making it Small with GCC, Microsoft Visual Studio, and the Intel Compiler. This article will show you how to build Qt, the popular C++ framework from Nokia, so that it is both small and, if you prefer, available for static linking .

Your Qt applications will be smaller, possibly faster, and can be distributable as a single executable. Also answered: How small can Intel’s C++ compiler make a large library? How does Microsoft fare? Three compilers (settings tuned for small file output) and their resulting code size is compared. A nice table of contents so that you can see what you’re getting into: A few things to keep in mind before we get started: How to statically link Qt 4. I was downloading Ubuntu Netbook Remix for my EeePC 900A and found that it’s installer is not a CD image, but a raw image meant to be written to a USB FLASH drive.

After downloading their handy image writer , I found that this simple utility came with quite a few support files, including a surprising 13.5MB of . s . This image writer tool was written using software, which allows easy development and distribution for all the major platforms from a single C++ source base. This program was compiled in the same way most Windows software is today — with “dynamic linking”, requiring the Qt libraries, among others, be shipped with the program as separate files. This is fine for large software projects, but it’s a little cumbersome for small tools like this one. Many programs can be distributed such that all necessary files are built into the executable in a process called . How To Compile Qt 4.7 with Visual Studio 2010.

This post is a step-by-step guide on how to compile Qt 4.x.x with MSVC 2010.

How To Compile Qt 4.7 with Visual Studio 2010

Although we use Qt 4.7.1 as an example (for historical reasons), you can also find suggestions on building newer versions of Qt by MSVC 2012 and even by Intel Compiler for both platforms x86 and x64. All kudos go to numerous contributors, who spend their time to do all the tweaking and testing (see updates below). In particular there are instructions on how to build Qt 5 for x64 platform contributed by Vincenzo Mercuri. Updates. Graphics View Framework. An overview of the Graphics View framework for interactive 2D graphics.

Graphics View Framework

Graphics View provides a surface for managing and interacting with a large number of custom-made 2D graphical items, and a view widget for visualizing the items, with support for zooming and rotation. The framework includes an event propagation architecture that allows precise double-precision interaction capabilities for the items on the scene.

Items can handle key events, mouse press, move, release and double click events, and they can also track mouse movement. Graphics View uses a BSP (Binary Space Partitioning) tree to provide very fast item discovery, and as a result of this, it can visualize large scenes in real-time, even with millions of items. Graphics View was introduced in Qt 4.2, replacing its predecessor, QCanvas. Topics: The Graphics View Architecture Graphics View provides an item-based approach to model-view programming, much like InterView's convenience classes QTableView, QTreeView and QListView. QtVSAddin. English Русский French [qt-devnet.developpez.com] Getting the source The source code of the add-in is hosted on gitorious at To create a repository clone, execute the following command: git clone Instructions for Qt 5.x As the addin is a Qt app itself, make sure that you have the following software installed: Visual Studio 2008+ Perl Qt 5.0+ These instructions refer to Visual Studio 2012.

QtVSAddin

Building the addin Open a command shell with a Qt build environment (Visual Studio built-in prompt configured with Qt in appropriate environment variables, 32 or 64-bit) and cd into your add-in source directory. Execute the following commands:
