Dirk Hohndel talked about his experiences with QML and Kirigami at LCA 2019:
Producing an application for both desktop and mobile

I think that's quite useful for us as feedback from somebody who is not directly part of the KDE community.

Hi,

there is a new book on CMake (there are not many):
Professional CMake - A practical guide.

I haven't read it yet, so I cannot say more about it, but I guess it should be useful.

In the last days I had to deal with loading plugins via dlopen.
I learned so far already a lot about symbols on Linux.

Are you looking for a C++/Qt/Linux developer job in Germany ?
Then maybe this is something for you: Sharp Reflections

I'm looking forward to hear from you. :-)

Sorry, for posting this on blogs.kde.org, but I think it might help a few people out there having the same problem.

You are a student, you would like to contribute to an Open Source project, and get paid for it ?

Then I may have something for you.
At my job at Fraunhofer in Kaiserslautern we are using the CDash testing server for testing the software we develop - various different High Performance applications for Linux clusters.

Since I don't have an account to reply there http://blog.rburchell.com/2011/12/why-i-avoid-qregexp-in-qt-4-and-so.html, I'll do it here.

Recently somebody benchmarked regexp libraries as potential candidates for use in CMake.
Short version: PCRE was not exactly much faster than what is in CMake, re2 and TRE were magnitudes faster: [cmake-developers] Re: slow regex implementation in RegularExpression.

Welcome to the third part of this small series about new stuff in CMake 2.8.6, following the first and the second part.
Most non-trivial projects, whether built with CMake or something else, depend on multiple other packages, which can be either optional or required.
In CMake-based projects all these packages are searched using the find_package() command.

After introducing the automoc feature in my last blog, here comes the next part of this series. More will follow.

The new --find-package mode of CMake

Typically, in projects which are built using autotools or handwritten Makefiles, the tool pkg-config is used to find whether and where some library, used by the software, is installed on the current system, and prints the respective command line options for the compiler to stdout.

Starting with version 2.8.6 CMake supports what is known as automoc, i.e. automatic handling of moc when using Qt4.

As you know, when adding signals and slots to a class using Qt, this source code (typically the header) has to be processed by the moc preprocessor. This invocation of moc during the build is what we are talking about.

When using plain CMake, you had to use the macro

   qt4_wrapp_cpp(srcsVar ${filesToBeMocced}).
