User Interface Compiler (uic)▲
This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt Widgets module. The uic reads an XML format user interface definition (.ui) file as generated by Qt Designer and creates a corresponding C++ header file.
Usage:
uic [options] <uifile>Options▲
The following table lists the command-line options recognized by uic.
|

Examples▲
If you use qmake, uic will be invoked automatically for header files.
Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:
ui_%.h: %.ui
uic $< -o $@If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the following form:
ui_foo.h: foo.ui
uic $< -o $@You must also remember to add ui_foo.h to your HEADERS (substitute your favorite name).
