NAME

       lupdate - update Qt Linguist translation files

SYNOPSIS

       lupdate [ options ] project-file
       lupdate [ options ] source-files -ts ts-files

DESCRIPTION

       This  page  documents  the Qt Linguist Update tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.  Lupdate reads a qmake/tmake project file (.pro file), finds the
       translatable strings in the specified source, header and interface files, and updates the translation files (.ts files)	specified  in  it.
       The translation files are given to the translator who uses Qt Linguist to read the files and insert the translations.

       The .ts file format is a simple human-readable XML format that can be used with version control systems if required.

OPTIONS

       -help  Display the usage and exit.

       -noobsolete
	      Drop all obsolete strings.

       -verbose
	      Explain what is being done.

       -version
	      Display the version of lupdate and exit.

USAGE

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

	   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 lupdate on this project file, the translatable strings in all the files listed in the HEADERS, SOURCES and FORMS entries will
       be put in the translation files listed in the TRANSLATIONS entry. Previous translations will be reused as far as possible,  and	translated
       strings that have vanished from the source files are marked obsolete.

       Lupdate can also be invoked with a list of C++ source files, .ui files and .ts files:

	   lupdate *.cpp *.h *.ui -ts gnomovision_dk.ts

NAME

       uic - Qt user interface compiler

SYNOPSIS

       uic [options] file

DESCRIPTION

       This  page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt GUI application framework. The uic reads a user interface definition (.ui) file
       in XML as generated 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.

       -v     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.)
