How to automatically generate the required include files in module include folder?
-
I have created a module and on build it generated directories: bin, include, lib, etc.
bin directory contains .dll files, lib directory contains .lib files, but against expectation the include directory doesn't have the required header files, it only have a directory named after the module which only contains QtModuleNameDepends file and nothing else!
As this is my first time creating and building a module so I am not even sure if Qt automatically generate/import the required header files to the include directory. Can someone please verify if Qt generates those header files and if yes then what I may be doing wrong that I am not getting those files. -
Hi,
What kind of module are you talking about ?
-
@SGaist It's custom module which I can use in my projects like this: qt += mymodule.
Everything is built correctly but the include directory which is automatically generated in the build directly doesn't have the required header files of my module which I think should be copied there automatically. As a workaround right now I copy the header files manually into the include directory. -
Is the code of your module accessible somewhere ?
