MdtApplication

Some additions for QCoreApplication, QGuiApplication and QApplication.

List of commits and CI pipeline status

This library is composed of some components:

Component	Description	Main dependency
CoreApplicationForNonQtUsage	Provide a QCoreApplication for a non Qt application	QtCore
GuiApplicationForNonQtUsage	Provide a QGuiApplication for a non Qt application	QtGui
ConsoleApplication	Helpers to create console application with Qt	QtCore
CommandLineArguments	Helper class to init and copy command line arguments	None

Usage

This example will use ConsoleApplication. The principle is the same for the other components.

For the usage of classes and functions for all components, see the API documentation

CMake project description

Update your CMakeLists.txt to use the required libraries:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(MyApp)

find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core)
find_package(Mdt0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS ConsoleApplication )

add_executable(myApp myApp.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myApp Mdt0::ConsoleApplication)

Project using Conan

If you use Conan, add MdtConsoleApplication as requirement in your conanfile.txt:

[requires]
MdtConsoleApplication/x.y.z@scandyna/testing

[generators]
CMakeDeps
CMakeToolchain
VirtualBuildEnv

Add the remote:

conan remote add gitlab https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/25668674/packages/conan

Install the dependencies:

mkdir build && cd build
conan install .. --profile your_profile -s build_type=Debug

If you don't use the native compiler, and your Conan profile defines one (or it defines some other environments), bring the required environment to the current shell:

source conanbuild.sh

On Windows:

.\conanbuild.bat

Configure your project:

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=conan_toolchain.cmake ..

Maybe adjust some settings:

cmake-gui .

Build:

cmake --build . --config Debug

To run the tests:

ctest --output-on-failure -C Debug -j4 .

If applicable, restore the previous shell environment:

source deactivate_conanbuild.sh

On Windows:

.\deactivate_conanbuild.bat

For a list of available packages, and also some other details, see Conan packages README.

For more details about conan install and build options, see the BUILD documentation.

Manual install

It is also possible to install MdtApplication locally. See INSTALL.

Then, configure your project and specify the path of the installed MdtApplication and the dependencies:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/some/path/MdtApplication;/some/path/MdtCMakeConfig;/some/path/MdtCMakeModules;/some/path/qt/Qt5/5.15.2/gcc_64" ..

Work on MdtApplication

Build

See BUILD.
