Cookiecutter template for a Qt shared library.
You need to get Cookiecutter installed. The easiest way to do this is to install it with pip, provided you have Python (ideally Python 3.4 or newer) installed in your system:
pip install cookiecutter
With Cookiecutter, you can now create a project against this repository:
cookiecutter https://github.com/bimetek/cookiecutter-qt-lib.git
You will be prompted some questions:
repo_name: This will be the name of your repository. The lowercase form will be used as the target name, so it’s better to supply something with camel-case without spaces in it, as customary in Qt. An example would beMyFooBar.
The generated template contains two subprojects: src for your main code, and tests for unit tests. By default all building occurs in build subdirectory (no created; will be generated automatically during building), and the targets (both lib and test binary) will be in bin. A .gitignore file should be already created at the top level of the repository, allowing you to initialise a Git repo directly without any fuss.
To add files to the src subproject, you should add them to the top-level pri file instead of src.pro. This ensures they can be found by the unit test project (via include in both src.pro and tests.pro). Unit test files can be added directly into test.pro.
