qt_cmake_project

Description

Template for C++ project that uses CMake and Qt. Project contains shell script to ease project building process. Template may be used as skeleton for fast prototyping purposes.

Requirements

You should already have in your system:

• installed cmake program;
• installed Qt files (headers and libraries);
• g++ compiler.

Tested

Project successfully tested with MSYS2 (MinGW64) environment.

Steps to build project

0. Create your project directory.

   mkdir -p ~/projects/my_qt_project

   cd ~/projects/my_qt_project

1. Clone project from repository. Note a point in the end of command.

   git clone https://github.com/Provotorov-A-A/qt_cmake_project.git .

2. Remove remote repository if it's not needed.

   git remote remove origin

3. Rename project name in ./CMakeLists.txt (line with project command). Note, that it's required to set project name the same as it's directory name.

   That line will be: project(my_qt_project LANGUAGES CXX)

4. Run help script with command config to confige your CMake project.

   ./scripts/make.sh config

5. Run help script with command build

   ./scripts/make.sh build

6. Run help script with command run

   ./scripts/make.sh run

Notes

1. You can also use help script to execute clean and install targets. Use help:

   ./scripts/make.sh --help

2. You can add or change default environment variables (add cmake path for example) in ./scripts/set_env.sh file that will be executed before any command with ./scripts/make.sh help file.
