# CMake Utils

This directory holds scripts to help the porting process from `qmake` to `cmake` for Qt6.

# Requirements

* [Python 3.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/),
* `pipenv` or `pip` to manage the modules.

## Python modules

Since Python has many ways of handling projects, you have a couple of options to
install the dependencies of the scripts:

### Using `pipenv`

The dependencies are specified on the `Pipfile`, so you just need to run
`pipenv install` and that will automatically create a virtual environment
that you can activate with a `pipenv shell`.

### Using `pip`

It's highly recommended to use a [virtualenvironment](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/)
to avoid conflict with other packages that are already installed: `pip install virtualenv`.

* Create an environment: `virtualenv env`,
* Activate the environment: `source env/bin/activate`
  (on Windows: `source env\Scripts\activate.bat`)
* Install the requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

# Contributing to the scripts

You can verify if the styling of a script complaint with PEP8, with a couple of exceptions:

Install [flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/) (`pip install flake8`) and run it
on the script you want to test:

```
flake8 <file>.py --ignore=E501,E266,W503
```

* `E501`: Line too long (82>79 characters),
* `E266`: Too many leading '#' for block comment,
* `W503`: Line break occurred before a binary operator)

You can also modify the file with an automatic formatter,
like [black](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) (`pip install black`),
and execute it:

```
black -l 100 <file>.py
```

Using Qt's maximum line length, 100.
