Qt CMake template

A template for Qt development with CMake

Setup

Once cloned, customize the template by:

• Changing the project name from Template to something else in CMakeLists.txt
• Changing the display name of your app in src/main.cpp
• Customizing the app icon at resources/icon.png (see Caution below)
• Changing this README.md to reflect your project

Note

It's illegal to remove the original license, as per its conditions. Add your own license along it, not instead of it

For further platform customization, you can:

• Modify resources/platform/linux/template.desktop to better reflect your application. It can pull in CMake variables enclosed in @s, just as any file that has template as a basename
• Customize the .dmg image background and structure by modifying dmg-background.png and template.json at resources/platform/macos (see Caution below)

Caution

Unless you've introduced your own changes to backing .cmake files and CI pipeline, do NOT change the filenames, paths, image dimensions and directory structure of anything inside resources/. This is especially relevant for images - modifying their contents is fine, but please pay extra attention to keeping dimensions intact

Development

As your project grows, you will have more source files, headers and resources in it.

All source files ending in .cpp inside src/ are already globbed by CMake, but feel free to add more globbing patterns if needed

Header paths can be added to target_include_directories in CMakeLists.txt as needed

Resources are intended to be added to resources/ and resources/qresource.qrc for usage in source. See qresource.qrc comments for usage
