About:
Qt Tools is a collection of command-line utilities and GUI applications that assist in the development and deployment of Qt applications. It includes tools like Qt Designer for UI creation, QMake for build configuration, and lupdate for internationalization. These utilities streamline the workflow for building, debugging, and localizing cross-platform software.
Key Features:
  • Qt Designer for visual UI creation
  • QMake build system configuration
  • Internationalization tools (lupdate, lrelease)
  • Qt Creator IDE integration
Use Cases:
  • Designing graphical user interfaces for desktop applications
  • Translating and localizing software for multiple languages
  • Compiling and deploying Qt-based C++ applications
Alternatives:
  • CMake – Modern build system generator, often used instead of qmake for complex projects.
  • Glade – GTK+ interface designer, specific to the GNOME/GTK ecosystem.
