How do I add the Raylib library to a Qt application

Sigma7zero

Hi,

I'm trying to add the Raylib library (https://www.raylib.com/) to my Qt application (C++, not Qml) - as an easier alternative to the OpenGL widget.

How do I wrap the library into a Qwidget, such that I can have a raylib scene rendering from within a form and send messages from QWidgets to change the attributes of a 3d model, e.g. use a slider to rotate the model , use a slider to change the scale etc ...

There doesn't appear to be any tutorials on this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi
Are you sure it's supported ?
It seems to contains its own window system and input system so
might not play nice with Qt.

I would ask on their forums/discord if it's even possible.

It seems to use GLFW which i seen post about using with QWindow but
i can not find out if it worked.

I was thinking in terms of creating a wrapper class inherting from QWidget that provides the necessary bindings to Raylibs window system.

Also, there is already an OpenGL widget., why not have a Raylib widget?

Well its not for sure raylib allows such integration.
Its a c library and you cannot extend by subclassing.

raylib cant just be made into a widget. its a full blow library and
not just a canvas to paint on as the OpenGL widget is.

sadly. as it does seem pretty nice. even for raw c. and not c++

It is originally a c library, but there are now numerous bindings for it.
See here:

The second line down has a link to C++ bindings.

ah. cool. Seems pretty high level.

I found this
https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1070

so it seems possible to use Qt and GLFW so that might extend to raylib
