Give qdbusxml2cpp some options within QtCreator

MHermann

Hi!

I am using qdbusxml2cpp to generate the adaptor and the interface class for dbus.
I saw there is option "-c" give the name of the class.
How can I add this option to qdbusxml2cpp in QtCreator?

Kind regards,
MHermann

Hi @MHermann:

How do you call qdbusxml2cpp from Creator?

Hi @aha_1980,

I am not explicitly calling qdbusxml2cpp.
I think it is automatically used because of these two lines in the project file:

DBUS_ADAPTORS += org.example.xml
DBUS_INTERFACES += org.example.xml

Now I am wondering if it is possible to give some options to this?
I want to give the class names with the option "-c".

Hi @MHermann,

Looks like the comment section in QTBUG-45434 has some hints on this.

Quoting:

"
There are two ways of passing flags to qdbusxml2cpp. One way is to set it for all interfaces and for all adaptors:

QDBUSXML2CPP_INTERFACE_HEADER_FLAGS
QDBUSXML2CPP_INTERFACE_SOURCE_FLAGS
QDBUSXML2CPP_ADAPTOR_HEADER_FLAGS
QDBUSXML2CPP_ADAPTOR_SOURCE_FLAGS

In case you want to pass different flags for different source XML, you'll want the following instead:

DBUS_ADAPTORS += chat
chat.files = org.example.chat.xml
chat.header_flags = -lFoo
chat.source_flags = -lFoo

"

Hi @aha_1980,

that was exactly the soultion.

I changed

DBUS_ADAPTORS += org.example.xml

to

DBUS_ADAPTORS += dbusAdaptor
dbusAdaptor.files = org.example.xml
dbusAdaptor.header_flags = -cdbus_adaptor
dbusAdaptor.source_flags = -cdbus_adaptor

in the project file.

So the class name dbus_adaptor is used for the D-Bus adaptor.
