1) configure
make sure qmake is in your PATH and run ./configure or configure.bat on windows.
see configure --help for more information
(for msvc you could try ./configure.bat -msvc and open
the solution file in msvc, we recomend compiling on
commandline though)
2) build
type make or nmake when using msvc
then don't forget to make install
Note: This will also install qxt.prf to your qtdir/mkspecs/features directory.
3) use
Add the following lines to your qmake project file:
CONFIG += qxt
QXT += core gui
The QXT variable should contain the modules you want. (In this example core and gui are used.)
Note: Some modules depend on other modules. The required modules are added automatically.
if you have an existing msvc project and can't swtich to qmake you can use zbenjamins solution:
Howto use libqxt in a existing Visual Studio Project:
1. create and install libqxt. (See install instructions)
2. add {libqxtinstalldir}\include\qxt\QxtCore to your include path
3. add {libqxtinstalldir}\lib to your library search path
4. to add a specific libqxt module (f.e QxtSql) you have to:
- add {libqxtinstalldir}\include\qxt\QxtSql to your include path
- add the library QxtSql.lib to your project
Most of the times you have also to include the QxtCore and QxtKit modules.
It's done the same way like the example above.
