NAME

       lrelease - generate Qt message files from Qt Linguist translation files

SYNOPSIS

       lrelease [ options ] project-file
       lrelease [ options ] ts-files

DESCRIPTION

       This  page  documents  the Qt Linguist Release tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.  Lrelease reads a qmake/tmake project file (.pro file) and con-
       verts the translation files (.ts files) specified in it into Qt message files (.qm files) used by the application to translate.

       The .qm file format is a compact binary format that provides extremely fast lookups for translations and that is used by Qt.

OPTIONS

       -help  Display the usage and exit.

       -verbose
	      Explain what is being done.

       -version
	      Display the version of lrelease and exit.

USAGE

       Here is an example .pro file that can be given to lrelease:

	   HEADERS	   = funnydialog.h 
			     wackywidget.h
	   SOURCES	   = funnydialog.cpp 
			     main.cpp 
			     wackywidget.cpp
	   FORMS	   = fancybox.ui
	   TRANSLATIONS    = gnomovision_dk.ts 
			     gnomovision_fi.ts 
			     gnomovision_no.ts 
			     gnomovision_se.ts

       When running lrelease on this project file, the Qt message  files  gnomovision_dk.qm,  gnomovision_fi.qm,  gnomovision_no.qm  and  gnomovi-
       sion_se.qm will be generated from gnomovision_dk.ts, gnomovision_fi.ts, gnomovision_no.ts and gnomovision_se.ts, respectively.

       Lrelease can also be invoked with a list of .ts files to convert:

	   lrelease gnomovision_*.ts

NAME

       uic - Qt user interface compiler

SYNOPSIS

       uic [options] file

DESCRIPTION

       This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt GUI toolkit. The uic reads a user interface definition (.ui) file in XML as gen-
       erated by Qt Designer and creates corresponding C++ header or source files. It also generates an image file that embeds raw image  data	in
       C++ source code.

       Generate declaration:
	    uic  [options]  <file>

       Generate implementation:
	    uic  [options] -impl <headerfile> <file>
	       <headerfile>:	name of the declaration file

       Generate image collection:
	    uic  [options] -embed <project> <image1> <image2> <image3> ...
	       <project>:	project name
	       <image[1..n]>:	image files

       For convenience, uic can also generate declaration or implementation stubs for subclasses.

       Generate subclass declaration:
	    uic  [options] -subdecl <subclassname> <baseclassheaderfile> <file>
	       <subclassname>:	   name of the subclass to generate
	       <baseclassheaderfile>:	 declaration file of the baseclass

       Generate subclass implementation:
	    uic  [options] -subimpl <subclassname> <subclassheaderfile> <file>
	       <subclassname>:	   name of the subclass to generate
	       <subclassheaderfile>:	declaration file of the subclass

GENERAL OPTIONS

       -o file
	      Write output to file rather than to stdout.

       -nofwd Omit forward declarations of custom classes in the generated header file. This is necessary if typedef classes are used.

       -tr func
	      Use func() instead of tr() for internationalization.

       -version
	      Display the version of uic and exit.

USAGE

       uic is almost always invoked by make(1), rather than by hand.

       Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:

	   %.h: %.ui
		   uic $< -o $@
	   %.cpp: %.ui
		   uic -impl $*.h $< -o $@

       If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the following form:

	   NAME.h: NAME.ui
		   uic $< -o $@
	   NAME.cpp: NAME.ui
		   uic -impl $*.h $< -o $@

       You must also remember to add NAME.cpp to your SOURCES (substitute your favorite name) variable and NAME.o to your OBJECTS variable.

       (While we prefer to name our C++ source files .cpp, the uic doesn't care, so you can use .C, .cc, .CC, .cxx or even .c++ if you prefer.)
