QtGenTools - Qt Code Generation Tools Utility

Author: Remi THEBAULT - remi.thebault@gmail.com

Description:

------------

	Small and simple command line utility that calls moc, uic and rcc.

	It parses recursively an input directory and look for input files.

	Generated code files are written to the output directory.

	For each input file, it compares last modification date and do not

	modify the output file if not necessary. For rcc, if does the same

	comparison with the input files too.

	

	This utility is useful if you want to use Qt without qmake, for example

	with Microsoft Visual C++ Express.

	It is compatible with Windows, Linux and MacOSX.

	Moc:

		input files must be header (with extension .h, .hpp, .hh, .hxx) and

		contain the string 'Q_OBJECT'. Output files are C++ source prefixed

		by "mo_" and with extension ".cc"

	

	Uic:

		Input files must have extension .ui. Output files are C++ headers prefixed

		by "ui_" and with extension ".h"

	

	Rcc:

		Input files must have extension .qrc. Output files are C++ source prefixed

		by "rc_" and with extension ".cc"

	

	

	The generated files can be afterwards added in your IDE project or build system.

	

	

	

Synopsis:

---------

	

	Usage: QtGenTools --inD= --outD= [Options]

	Options:

	  --inD=    Specify the input directory (mandatory)

	  --outD=  Specify the output directory (mandatory)

	  --mocOpts=  Command line options given to moc

	  --uicOpts=  Command line options given to uic

	  --rccOpts=  Command line options given to rcc

Example of use:

---------------

	QtGenTools --inD=YourProjectDir --outD=YourProjectDir/QtGen

				--mocOpts=-b"stdafx.h"

	

	This command will parse YourProjectDir, find all Qt input files,

	run the appropriate tools and place generated code files in 

	YourProjectDir/QtGen.

	In addition, with this example, meta-object files will have 

	#include "stdafx.h" as first directive, and be compatible with

	precompiled headers.

	

	This command can be added as a pre build step in your favorite IDE or

	build system in order to update the generated files when needed.

	

Enjoy!
