Hello!
Qbs:
======
Qbs is a new build system using QML-like syntax. It is available here:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-labs/qbsQbs in Qt Creator:
====================
Support for the Qbs build system was added to Qt Creator shortly before
the 2.7 branch was created. To ease building the Qbs plugin we recently
added a git submodule (optional!) to the Qt Creator repository.
If you do not care about Qbs, just continue doing what you have always
done and ignore this mail:-)
If you do want to take a look at the Qbs plugin:
Initialize the submodule:
> git submodule init
> git submodule update
Now the Qbs code should be available in src/shared/qbs.
Building Creator with qmake:
-----------------------------
Now do a clean rebuild using qmake/make as usual to get the Qbs plugin.
Make sure to rerun qmake!
Building Creator with qbs:
-----------------------------
If you want to use Qbs to build creator, you will have to
build Qbs separately since Qbs itself does not build using Qbs.
After building Qbs manually, set the QBS_SOURCE_DIR and QBS_BUILD_DIR
environment variables pointing to the Qbs source/build directories you
have used and then build Qt Creator using Qbs with those environment
variables set.
Enabling the plugin:
---------------------
The Qbs plugin is still marked as experimental. To use it you will need
to enable it in Help>About plugins (Mac: Qt Creator>About plugins).
Please report any issues you find in JIRA at
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/Note that the Qbs plugin is not feature complete and not as well
integrated as the qmake build system at this time. It is at about the
same level as the other build system creators supports though.
Best Regards,
Tobias
