Generators are a Qbs sub-tool and set of APIs that enable arbitrary processing to be performed on the build graph. Currently, they are used to integrate Qbs with popular IDEs, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, and to generate Clang compilation databases.

Generating Microsoft Visual Studio Projects

To generate a project for another build system, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, use the qbs generate command and specify a generator using the -g option. For example:

The film focused on the four friends blackmailing Dutt to share all his fortune in the most hilarious ways they can think of. The film finished shooting early May 2011, and brought rights to remake the song 'Oye Oye' from the 1989 action film,.

Qbs will then generate a series of files in the current directory, based on the generator that was chosen. The resulting project files can be opened in the respective IDE and all work can be performed there.

The project files will expose as much information as possible to the IDE and will use Qbs to perform the actual build.

Note: You cannot modify build system files and expect the changes to be reflected in Qbs. You must edit your Qbs project files and re-run qbs generate in order for the changes to be reflected in your IDE.

Generating IAR Embedded Workbench Projects

To generate a project for IAR Embedded Workbench, use the qbs generate command and specify a generator using the -g option. For example:

Note: You need to specify a specific QBS profile, which is required for a generator to fetch a target architecture to generate the project.

Note: IAR EW generator creates a native target project.

Supported IAR EW generators are listed in a table below:

KEIL uVision Projects

To generate a project for KEIL uVision, use the qbs generate command and specify a generator using the -g option. For example:

Note: You need to specify a specific QBS profile, which is required for a generator to fetch a target architecture to generate the project.

Note: KEIL UV generator creates a native target project.

Supported KEIL UV generators are listed in a table below:

Generating Clang Compilation Databases

To generate a Clang compilation database (clangdb), use the following command:

Generating Makefiles

To generate a Makefile, use the following command:

Targets

The generated Makefile will contain targets for all output artifacts known to Qbs. Sims 2 pc torrent download game.

In addition, the following targets are created for every product:

• <product-name> to build the product
• clean-<product-name> to remove all files generated by the above target
• install-<product-name> to install the product's artifacts that have qbs.install set

In the above list, the placeholder <product-name> stands for the product's name with all characters that are not ASCII letters, digits, dots or underscores replaced with underscore characters.

The special target all builds all products whose builtByDefault property is enabled. This is the default target. It is complemented by install and clean.

Note: The Makefile will not be able to build artifacts created by JavaScriptCommands, because there is no command line to run for them.

Pre-defined Variables

The build directory and the install root are set to whatever you specified when calling the generator. If you did not specify anything, Qbs' default values are used. You can override these values when invoking the make tool by explicitly setting the BUILD_ROOT and INSTALL_ROOT variables, respectively. For instance:

Spaces in Directory Names

Due to the difficulties involved in making this work correctly, Qbs will refuse to generate a Makefile if the source, build or install root directories contain spaces. It will try to handle spaces in file names of output artifacts, though.

Platform-specific Differences in Format

Qbs assumes that the Makefile will be invoked on the current host platform, so that platform's tools will be used for copying and removing files, and path separators will be converted to backslashes on Windows. When dealing with spaces in artifact names, on Unix-like systems compatibility with GNU make is assumed with regards to quoting.

Limitations

Due to the high flexibility of the Qbs project format and build engine, some projects may be too complex to produce an equivalent project file for another build system.

This list of limitations aims to be as small as possible, but one of the most notable (at least for the Microsoft Visual Studio generator) is that certain properties must contain the same value across all build configurations. For example, the following is not allowed:

Note: This limitation only applies when property values are varied on the configuration name. For example, the following is OK (as long as the value of xyz itself does not vary across configurations):

The properties to which the limitation applies includes but is not limited to:

If a simple workaround is possible in a particular case (for example, varying Product.targetName across configuration instead of Product.name, the generator will typically suggest it in the error message.

Generates Visual Studio 15 (VS 2017) project files.

Project Types¶

Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated. Other types ofprojects (JavaScript, Powershell, Python, etc.) are not supported.

Instance Selection¶

VS 2017 supports multiple installations on the same machine.The CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE variable may be set as acache entry containing the absolute path to a Visual Studio instance.If the value is not specified explicitly by the user or a toolchain file,CMake queries the Visual Studio Installer to locate VS instances, choosesone, and sets the variable as a cache entry to hold the value persistently.

When CMake first chooses an instance, if the VS150COMNTOOLS environmentvariable is set and points to the Common7/Tools directory withinone of the instances, that instance will be used. Otherwise, if morethan one instance is installed we do not define which one is chosenby default.

Platform Selection¶

The CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM variable may be set, perhapsvia the cmake(1)-A option, to specify a target platformname (architecture). For example:

• cmake-G'VisualStudio152017'-AWin32
• cmake-G'VisualStudio152017'-Ax64
• cmake-G'VisualStudio152017'-AARM
• cmake-G'VisualStudio152017'-AARM64

For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specifya target platform name optionally at the end of the generator name.This is supported only for:

VisualStudio152017Win64

Specify target platform x64.

VisualStudio152017ARM

Specify target platform ARM.

Toolset Selection¶

The v141 toolset that comes with Visual Studio 15 2017 is selected bydefault. The CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET option may be set, perhapsvia the cmake(1)-T option, to specify another toolset.

For each toolset that comes with this version of Visual Studio, there arevariants that are themselves compiled for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) hosts(independent of the architecture they target). By default Visual Studiochooses the 32-bit variant even on a 64-bit host. One may request use of the64-bit host tools by adding a host=x64 option to the toolset specification.See the CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET variable for details.
