Swift library to use Qt

Qlift

Swift 5 API for Qt5

This package provides:

• A Swift package that wraps Qt5 to a swifty API.

An executable called qlift-uic, that can be used in a similiar fashion to Qt's uic: generate Swift code from Qt user interface files (.ui), moved to separate repository: https://github.com/DimaRU/QliftUIC

Tested under:

• macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon)
• Linux (both Intel x64 & Arm64)
• Windows 10

Building

Qt5 must be installed. On macOS, use brew install qt@5. On Linux, pkgconfig is used to find the build flags. On macOS, .pc files also is used to find Qt frameworks and build flags. Use Xcode from 13.3 (now beta) for build macOS applications. For macOS, add next line to .zprofile:

launchctl setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/lib/pkgconfig

on Apple Silicon Mac or

launchctl setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/opt/qt5/lib/pkgconfig

on Intel Mac or Apple Silicon Mac for develop under Rosetta
