1. Building the Book Locally
The contents is built into a static site using VuePress. The packages are managed using Yarn.
To build the contents locally, run:
Then visit localhost:8080 to view the book.
To build the examples, run:
This will create the _examples/
directory with the build. It assumes Qt6 can be found by CMake. My typical command line on a Debian Linux machine looks like this:
Subsequent calls do not need CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
to be specified.
2. Building for Release
To build for release, first build the docs, then package the examples into a tar-ball:
This creates examples.tar.gz
in your package root, as well as where VuePress places the output, i.e. docs/.vuepress/dist/
.
Notice that the examples:package
command assumes that the VuePress dist/
directory exists.
3. For Reviewers
Pick chapters to review from the Project Board. Also look for issues tagged as Questions in the project.
Reviews are welcome both as issues, or as pull requests. Pick the approach that is the easiest for you!
4. For Authors
Chapters are outlined in docs/.vuepress/config.js
. Please tag chapters as Qt5
, Qt6 Draft
, and Qt 6
respectively.
