The Qt5 module provides tools to automatically deal with the various tools and steps required for Qt. The module has two methods.
This method takes the following keyword arguments:
moc_headers, moc_sources, ui_files, qresources, which define the files that require preprocessing with moc, uic and rccinclude_directories, the directories to add to header search path for moc (optional)moc_extra_arguments, any additional arguments to moc (optional). Available since v0.44.0.It returns an opaque object that should be passed to a main build target.
This method generates the necessary targets to build translation files with lrelease, it takes the following keyword arguments:
ts_files, the list of input translation files produced by Qt's lupdate tool.install when true, this target is installed during the install step (optional).install_dir directory to install to (optional).build_by_default when set to true, to have this target be built by default, that is, when invoking plain ninja; the default value is false (optional).A simple example would look like this:
qt5 = import('qt5') qt5_dep = dependency('qt5', modules: ['Core', 'Gui']) inc = include_directories('includes') moc_files = qt5.preprocess(moc_headers : 'myclass.h', moc_extra_arguments: ['-DMAKES_MY_MOC_HEADER_COMPILE'], include_directories: inc) translations = qt5.compile_translations(ts_files : 'myTranslation_fr.ts', build_by_default : true) executable('myprog', 'main.cpp', 'myclass.cpp', moc_files, include_directories: inc, dependencies : qt5_dep)
The ‘modules’ argument is used to include Qt modules in the project. See the Qt documentation for the list of modules.
