This is a repository to use as a starting point for a QT Cmake package for use with Ubuntu. It is configured based on the the names and context of the files within.
include/<project_name>: this directory should contian all your header files and .UI files These are automatically added to the project and linked when you run cmake. Whatever you set the <project_name> to will be the cmake pakcage name
src/ this folder contains all your cpp files associated with the headers described above.
nodes/ this folder contains all of your main applications. Anything in here will be made into an executable when you run cmake. Therefore, every cpp file should contain an int main() function.
rc/ cmake will automatically read any .qrc files you have in this directory for use in your application.
CMakeLists.txt this is mostly auto configured but you may need to open this to link additional libraries such as boost.
snapcraft.yaml this file allows you to convert this package into a snap package for installation onto your system.
This package can be built as follows assuming you are working in the package root directory
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Build the snap
cd <package root directory>
snapcraft
install the snap on your system. The dangerous flag is necessary because the package is unsigned by the snap store.
sudo snap install template-qt-snap_0.0.1_amd64.snap --dangerous
The application can be run by entering
template-qt-snap.my-application
