uic(1)
NAME
uic - Qt user interface compiler
SYNOPSIS
uic [options] file
DESCRIPTION
This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt
GUI application framework. 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> <base_
- classheaderfile> <file>
- <subclassname>: name of the subclass to gener
- ate
- <baseclassheaderfile>: declaration file of the
- baseclass
- Generate subclass implementation:
- uic [options] -subimpl <subclassname> <subclasshead_
- erfile> <file>
- <subclassname>: name of the subclass to gener
- ate
- <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 internationaliza
tion. - -v 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.uiuic $< -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.)
