Hi, Kevin Funk wrote: I think you're beating a dead horse here. The ship has sailed. I am aware all of that Don't get me wrong. I don't want to turn the tide and convince you to use Qbs instead of CMake. I'm just pointing out: maybe take a look at this nuclear-powered ship prototype, even tho' it hadn't left the docks. Have been asked about Qbs, so I explained my point of view. No reason to be concerned :P You'll be missing out on quite a bit of tooling which is implemented in KDE's Extra CMake Modules framework: https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules (part of that is all the translation handling) It may be hard to accomplish with CMake. Yeah, I have been looking at ECM. It's all well done etc, but what I meant by "components" are components like QML components. I've been using CMake in my projects for many years, so I can compare the two. I'm not a Qbs fanboy. CMake has its pros and advantages, but its language lacks constructs like structures/classes/records, inheritance etc (don't want to start another offtopic here, but I think we can all agree that CMake language is a bit limited and its syntax is quaint...). Then, I have deliberately written **something like** Qbs (not just Qbs). I mentioned Qbs has some issues (I didn't want to elaborate, to not make an offtopic, but here we are...), most important of which is that it isn't built on top of QQmlEngine and it's not QML, but merely a QML dialect. Imagine a proper QML-based build system, into which you could import standard QML extensions. Integrity is something we're missing nowadays. Still Qbs product definition files are clean and unmatched in terms of readability, thus I think it paves the way for next-gen build system, which will eventually replace CMake. I hope Qbs controversy is clarified now Regards, Michal sob., 15 lut 2020 o 14:11 Kevin Funk napisał(a): > On Thursday, 13 February 2020 11:00:27 CET Michal Policht wrote: > > Yeah, I neglected translations a bit...

Re: CuteHMI in kdereview
I've moved cuteHMI back to playaround pending review of build system, translation integration and getting some more readable introduction to the project.

Fortunately for you Yuri commited something already. Now, you need to figure out how to actually load and use those translations. To a regular project i would just suggest to use ecm_create_qm_loader like everyone else does, but since sadly you are using an unsupported build system, you're on your own. Cheers, Albert

You'll be missing out on quite a bit of tooling which is implemented in KDE's Extra CMake Modules framework: https://github.com/KDE/extra-cmake-modules (part of that is all the translation handling) There's also no support for building QBS projects on KDE's CI: https://build.kde.org > It may be hard to accomplish with CMake.

Re: CuteHMI in kdereview
Yeah, I neglected translations a bit... I am going to implement adequate Qbs module for extracting translations. When it comes to Qbs, it's not dead. Community has taken over the project, there's active development and recent version was released just 44 days ago. We migrated from QMake to Qbs, when it was still supported by Qt Company and promoted as official build system for Qt 6. Thus we assumed Qbs is the future. We've found that Qbs has some issues (like every software), but in overal it's very capable and powerful piece of software. It also provides much faster builds on Windows. I wish more people would give it a try before burying the project, to at least see the potential. With something like Qbs we could create a build framework with reusable components, so that each KDE subproject could benefit from it and become naturally integrated. It may be hard to accomplish with CMake.

Re: CuteHMI in kdereview
The licencing looks a little unclear because the LICENSE file says LGPL 3 but there are some files which are GPL 3. At least the GPL 3 text should be in the top directory the README.md explain what it applies to. For bonus points a full LICENSES/ directory and SPDX descriptions in each file is a major win (this is a new practice we are moving to for KDE Frameworks which makes it much easier to understand licencing but as yet not many projects have moved to it).
