CMake build guide

Support CMake build system

Use CMake build

Build

# Create build dir
mkdir build
cd build

# Config project（Use Qt6）
cmake ..

# Or assign Qt5
cmake -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=5 ..

# Build
cmake --build .

# install (optional)
cmake --install .

Build optional

• ACSS_BUILD_STATIC: Build static library (default is OFF, build shared library)
• ACSS_BUILD_EXAMPLES: Build example programs (default is ON)

Build static library examples

cmake -DACSS_BUILD_STATIC=ON ..
cmake --build .

Do not build example programs

cmake -DACSS_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF ..
cmake --build .

Specify Qt installation path

If CMake cannot find Qt automatically, you can specify it manually:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:/Qt/6.5.0/msvc2019_64" ..

Specify the installation directory

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install ..
cmake --build .
cmake --install .

Use in other projects

Use CMake

In your project's CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(QtAdvancedStylesheets REQUIRED)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(myapp
    PRIVATE
        QtAdvancedStylesheets::qtadvancedcss
)

Use qmake

The original qmake build system remains unchanged and can be used as before.

Precautions / Notes

1. Minimum CMake version required: 3.16
2. Support Qt5 and Qt6
3. By default, shared libraries are built. The Debug version will have a 'd' suffix added.
4. Output files：
   • Library file: build/lib/
   • Executable file: build/bin/
