Wrapper functions

(for manual loading, see src/lisp/all-wrappers.lisp)

Examples:

  (|show| widget)

  (|toString| (|currentTime.QTime|)) ; static function

Integrate them permanently

Build EQL5 as usual, then run (in src/)

  $ eql5 make-wrappers.lisp

  $ touch tmp/eql.o    # Windows: del tmp/eql.obj

  $ qmake eql_lib.pro
  $ make               # MSVC: nmake
  $ sudo make install  # Unix only

Note: The resulting shared library should be stripped (automatically done by make install); this will reduce its size considerably.

The convenience macro x:do-with has been adapted to work with the wrappers:

  (x:do-with item
    (|setTextAlignment| 0 |Qt.AlignRight|)
    (|setText| 0 "123"))

--

Normally not needed, but if you want to generate the wrappers for your Qt version (much different from Qt 5.5) do:

  $ cd src/lisp
  $ eql5 define-all-wrappers.lisp
