qDesktopSearch on github

privet

Started qDesktopSearch, an app using the JVM and CLucene to index & search the files of the local machine:
https://github.com/privet56/qDesktopSearch
I would love to get help & improvement hints!

Hi,

One thing you can do to make thing cleaner is to create a .pri file per dependencies you have and include them in your main .pro file. That way you keep thing clearly separated and you avoid having 200 files listed there.

@SGaist Cool idea! Thanks!
I did it this way:
https://github.com/privet56/qDesktopSearch/blob/master/qDesktopSearch_3rdparty.pri

with the result, that

the .pro file is much more clear
AND
the folder structure within Qt Creator is more clear

In the absolute, I would have split also the content per 3rd party.

so that qDesktopSearch_3rdparty.pri would look like:

include(zlib/zlib.pri)
include(boost/boost.pri)
etc.

That way each 3rd party is responsible for providing its own informations.

@SGaist
Yeah, I see your point... now I implemented this way:

include(qDesktopSearch_3rdparty_clucene.pri)
include(qDesktopSearch_3rdparty_qt-solutions.pri)

because:

the referenced zlib & boost are part of the CLucene distri, that's why I put them in one pri (see https://sourceforge.net/p/clucene/code/ci/e8e3d20f20da5ee3e37d347207b01890829a5475/tree/src/ext/ )
now I also need QtSingleApplication, and I put the lib for that in an extra pri

Thanks for the hint!

SGaist

Doesn't QtSingleApplication come with it's own .pri ?

@SGaist Very good remark!
Yes, you're right: there is a pri to be included;
however, I decided for the moment to include the necessary files explicitly
without the 'magic' of 'qtsingleapplication.pri'
(I'm still playing around with the best settings...)
