[Solved] Best Qt project skeleton

Max13

Hello world!

I'm on a private project (on github) which is using one of my libraries, publicly available on Github.
I was wondering what could be the best project skeleton for a Qt/classic project?

And also, the best way to include my lib to the project? For example, symfony is using composer, you put in a json etc... I can use git-submodules to handle it, but I'm still wondering about the internal directories structure of my project.

What is the community saying about that ?
Thank for your help.

HI,

Generally I go with something like that:

@myProject

apps <- can contain one or several apps
- myApp
  - src
  - tests <-- app specific tests
libs
- myLib
  - src
  - tests <-- lib specific tests
- myExternalLib1
- tests <-- "libs interaction" tests
  @

Hope it helps

It seems really a guid directory structure.
It allows the "subdirectory" structure of qt-creator.

Thanks !

That's exactly the point, subdirectories to have each "entity" managed separately :)

You're welcome !

BTW: Using git-submodules for this type of structure, is it appropriate ?

No problem with that (unless your additional library are using a different build system, then it can get complicated)

If you have 3rd party dependencies (as in i.e. only binary available) I personally use an additional folder names 3rdparty for them.

Actually I don't know how can it be called but my apps needs a library (made on Qt too). According to "SUBDIRS":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qmake-variable-reference.html#subdirs, I can easily tell the Project about the dependencies.

Thanks.
