42 # Simply invoke AT_WITH_QT in your configure.ac. AT_WITH_QT can take
43 # arguments which are documented in depth below. The default arguments are
44 # equivalent to the default .pro file generated by qmake.
46 # Invoking AT_WITH_QT will do the following:
47 # - Add a --with-qt option to your configure
48 # - Find qmake, moc and uic and save them in the make variables $(QMAKE),
50 # - Save the path to Qt in $(QT_PATH)
51 # - Find the flags to use Qt, that is:
52 # * $(QT_DEFINES): -D's defined by qmake.
53 # * $(QT_CFLAGS): CFLAGS as defined by qmake (C?!)
54 # * $(QT_CXXFLAGS): CXXFLAGS as defined by qmake.
55 # * $(QT_INCPATH): -I's defined by qmake.
56 # * $(QT_CPPFLAGS): Same as $(QT_DEFINES) + $(QT_INCPATH)
57 # * $(QT_LFLAGS): LFLAGS defined by qmake.
58 # * $(QT_LDFLAGS): Same thing as $(QT_LFLAGS).
59 # * $(QT_LIBS): LIBS defined by qmake.
61 # You *MUST* invoke $(MOC) and/or $(UIC) where necessary. AutoTroll provides
62 # you with Makerules to ease this, here is a sample Makefile.am to use with
63 # AutoTroll which builds the code given in the chapter 7 of the Qt Tutorial:

105 # The QT_modules argument is optional and defines extra modules to enable or
106 # disable (it's equivalent to the QT variable in .pro files). Modules can be
107 # specified as follows:
109 # AT_WITH_QT => No argument -> No QT value.
110 # Qmake sets it to "core gui" by default.
111 # AT_WITH_QT([xml]) => QT += xml
112 # AT_WITH_QT([+xml]) => QT += xml

114 # AT_WITH_QT([xml -gui +sql svg]) => QT += xml sql svg
117 # The QT_config argument is also optional and follows the same convention as
118 # QT_modules. Instead of changing the QT variable, it changes the CONFIG
119 # variable, which is used to tweak configuration and compiler options.
121 # The last argument, QT_misc (also optional) will be copied as-is the .pro
122 # file used to guess how to compile Qt apps. You may use it to further tweak
123 # the build process of Qt apps if tweaking the QT or CONFIG variables isn't
126 # RUN-IF-FAILED is arbitrary code to execute if Qt cannot be found or if any
127 # problem happens. If this argument is omitted, then AC_MSG_ERROR will be
