Building

Qt UI Compiler path

In order to create the UI, *.ui files are compiled by Qt, using uic. Ensure that the Qt bin folder ([QT INSTAL DIR]\[VERSION]\[Compiler]\bin) is on the path.

CMake Configuration

CMake needs the path to your Qt installation. This can be configured by adding -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=[Qt toolchain path] to CMake Options in File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake.

Build configuration

To ensure your application can find the binaries for required libraries, your build configuration should have the environment variable PATH set to $PROJECT_DIR$/lib/bin.

To connect to the API, a URL must be provided. For most purposes, this will point to https://tasq.gregk.ca. This should be set as an environment variable with the name API_URL.
