This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt GUI toolkit. The uic reads an XML format user interface definition (.ui) file as generated by Qt Designer and creates a corresponding C++ header file.
Usage:
uic [options] <uifile>
The following table lists the command-line options recognized by uic.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-o <file> | Write output to <file> instead of to standard output. |
-tr <func> | Use <func> for translating strings instead of tr(). |
-p | Don't generate guards against multiple inclusion (#ifndef FOO_H ...). |
-h | Display the usage and the list of options. |
-v | Display uic's version number. |
If you use qmake, uic will be invoked automatically for header files.
Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:
ui_%.h: %.ui
uic $< -o $@
If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the following form:
ui_foo.h: foo.ui
uic $< -o $@
You must also remember to add ui_foo.h to your HEADERS (substitute your favorite name).
