NAME
uic - Qt user interface compiler
SYNOPSIS
uic
[options] file
DESCRIPTION
This page documents the
User Interface Compiler
for the Qt GUI toolkit. The
uic
reads a user interface definition (.ui) file in XML as generated by
Qt Designer
and creates corresponding C++ header or source files. It also
generates an image file that embeds raw image data in C++ source code.
Generate declaration:
uic [options] <file>
Generate implementation:
uic [options] -impl <headerfile> <file>
<headerfile>: name of the declaration file
Generate image collection:
uic [options] -embed <project> <image1> <image2> <image3> ...
<project>: project name
<image[1..n]>: image files
For convenience,
uic
can also generate declaration or implementation stubs for subclasses.
Generate subclass declaration:
uic [options] -subdecl <subclassname> <baseclassheaderfile> <file>
<subclassname>: name of the subclass to generate
<baseclassheaderfile>: declaration file of the baseclass
Generate subclass implementation:
uic [options] -subimpl <subclassname> <subclassheaderfile> <file>
<subclassname>: name of the subclass to generate
<subclassheaderfile>: declaration file of the subclass
GENERAL OPTIONS
-o file
Write output to
file
rather than to stdout.
-nofwd
Omit forward declarations of custom classes in the generated
header file. This is necessary if typedef classes are used.
-tr func
Use
func()
instead of tr() for internationalization.
-version
Display the version of
uic
and exit.
USAGE
uic
is almost always invoked by
make(1),
rather than by hand.
Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:
%.h: %.ui
uic $< -o $@
%.cpp: %.ui
uic -impl $*.h $< -o $@
If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the
following form:
NAME.h: NAME.ui
uic $< -o $@
NAME.cpp: NAME.ui
uic -impl $*.h $< -o $@
You must also remember to add
NAME.cpp
to your SOURCES (substitute your favorite name) variable and
NAME.o
to your OBJECTS variable.
(While we prefer to name our C++ source files .cpp, the
uic
doesn't care, so you can use .C, .cc, .CC, .cxx or even .c++ if
you prefer.)
