qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources
Generates client-side C++ bindings for a Wayland protocol .XML file
This command was introduced in Qt 6.0.
The command is defined in the WaylandClient
component of the Qt6
package, which can be loaded like so:
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS WaylandClient)
Synopsis
qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources(target FILES file1.xml [file2.xml ...])
If versionless commands are disabled, use qt6_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources()
instead. It supports the same set of arguments as this command.
Description
qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources() creates the build steps to run waylandscanner
and qtwaylandscanner
on one or more Wayland protocol files. The tools will in turn generate binding code in C and C++ for implementing the protocols, and the resulting files will be built as part of the target
.
qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources() will trigger generation of the files needed to implement the client side of the protocol. qt_generate_wayland_protocol_server_sources() is the equivalent function for the compositor.
See the Custom Shell or Custom Extension examples for a demonstration of how to use these functions.
