Best way to pack and unpack RAR archives using Qt?

qDebug

Hi guys!

I was searching the web for information about RAR archives and what may the best way to work with RAR archives using Qt. The information about Qt and RAR i found so far is mostly years old and may be outdated. I use Qt 5.7.0 at the moment on Win and MSVC.

Found a good solution for ZIP but nothing for RAR so far. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi! Maybe just run an external program, e.g. "7-zip", with QProcess.

KArchive can pack and unpack RAR archives? Can't find any reference in the doc.

I try to integrate the free unrar code in my Qt project so i at least can unpack RAR archives platform independent without calling an external program.

My bad, I've misread, it looks like it's the Ark application that supports that.
