re: clean. What happened to Qbs? [1] Is it still not popular?
I ask because this same tutorial has an explanation on how to use CMake with Qt. Arguably Qbs is a lot "cleaner" than CMake scripting... but it doesn't appear to be a popular choice.

- AlexFagrell 8y agoAgree, unfortunately the Qt company decided to "deprecate" it, or rather to not put anymore resources into it: http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/29/deprecation-of-qbs/ http://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/29/deprecation-of-qbs/
- cannam 8y agoReading that post and the comments makes me want to try out Qbs! I was vaguely aware of its being announced a few years ago, but I hadn't realised it had even become mature, let alone deprecated. Sounds like a good match for some of my gnarlier qmake-based projects. (Can't abide CMake)
- blattimwind 8y agoThis is very sad indeed, because Qbs was both well architected and well executed. Very fast and the only build system where I never had to clean the build because the build system broke itself due to bad design/assumptions (e.g. mtime checking).
- berti 8y agoQbs is (was?) a great build system even for non-Qt projects. The declarative syntax is simple, clear, and in no way Qt specific. Sadly it just never gained the traction it deserved.
- wink 8y agoFrom what I heard at the QtWS in December they're veeery slooowly deprecating qmake in favor of cmake, but I guess cmake is not yet the default and qmake won't be abolished for years, if ever... But the direction seems clear.
