About This Tool

This tool generates Qt Creator–compatible CMake configurations by translating project inputs into a minimal but correct CMakeLists and a recommended command pattern. It targets C++ projects using Qt 5 or Qt 6 and aims to reduce manual guesswork during project bootstrap.
Conceptually, the tool analyzes platform, Qt version, and desired modules, then selects a generator (Ninja by default on Linux/macOS, Unix Makefiles otherwise) and maps requested modules to the corresponding Qt packages. It then emits a CMakeLists snippet that enables automoc, autouic, and autorcc, links Qt libraries, and defines a simple executable or library target.
Audience and value: developers who want reproducible, cross-platform builds with Qt, build engineers migrating projects from IDE-specific configurations, teams adopting CI pipelines, and Qt consultants who standardize project templates. Its unique value lies in automatic compatibility decisions (Qt version mapping), integrated module validation, and ready-to-use template outputs to reduce boilerplate and errors.
Core features and use cases: input-driven generation, Qt6/Qt5 switching, example CMakeLists, command-line and IDE-ready artifacts, and optional multi-config outputs for different kits. Use cases include bootstrapping new Qt apps, upgrading to Qt6, or migrating from QMake to CMake within Qt Creator.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: platform, qt_version, project_name, modules, generator, and build_type.
  2. Choose Qt version and generator preference if not auto-detected.
  3. Run generation: tool computes the appropriate CMakeLists snippet and command-line hints.
  4. Review outputs: confirm the generated CMakeLists content and command-line suggestions.
  5. Integrate: save to project root and update Qt Creator kit/mappings as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What platforms are supported?
The tool generates configurations for Windows, macOS, and Linux, adapting generator defaults and Qt package naming accordingly. It does not perform builds but provides platform-aware templates.
Does it handle Qt6 and Qt5 differences?
Yes. It maps modules to Qt6::Module or Qt5::Module and adjusts find_package usage, include directories, and linking patterns, ensuring compatibility with the selected Qt family.
Can it generate multi-config builds?
Yes, it can produce configurations that support multi-config generators and separate Debug/Release targets, while providing a minimal CMakeLists that works with Qt Creator's kit-based workflows.
What are the limitations?
The tool does not install Qt or set up a complete environment; it emits templates and guidance. Some project-specific customizations may require manual edits post-generation.
