Downloadable Qt5.x Documentation anyone?
-
I'm going away for a while where the internet connection is very poor and sometimes not working at all.
I've purchased the latest book I could find about Qt, the book called "An Introduction to Design Patterns in C++ with Qt", but that book is already starting to get a bit dated, and I can't use half of the examples without depending on the documentation.I've also discovered this:
"Qt5 Cadaques":http://qmlbook.org/index.htmlBut it is only partially (though very nicely) done and its QML parts are there, but the parts on C++ is not done as of yet.
So what I would really like is a downloadable version of all Qt API's and all reference material in an updated version.
Any idea where I could find something like this (besides downloading the sources and learn from them)?

If your using Qt + Qt Creator from the "qt-project/downloads":http://qt-project.org/downloads page you already have an off-line version.
If you don't use Qt Creator, try Qt Assistant (exe: assistant), it's located in the sample folder as qmake.
-
And if you compile Qt yourself, you need to run
@
make docs
@To build all the .qch files (you can then add them to Qt Assistant or Qt Creator).

@Seamus Boyle:
Ah... I haven't gotten around to using Qt Creator yet, but what you're saying is that it contains all the relevant documentation for developing with Qt 5.x?@slerdzlo:
That would be a second option if the first alternative proves false!
Compiling the whole Qt5 enchilada probably takes some time! -
Qt Creator does not contain Qt documentation by itself. But you can add it manually (and installers do it automatically for you) in settings.
Compiling Qt 5 can take a long time, yes, but that depends on what you need. If you skip some modules (QtWebkit, QtQuick1), tests and examples, it will compile in about 15-20 minutes on a quad-core HT CPU. Depends also on the OS and compiler you are using (will definitely take longer on Windows).
