ChaQt

Qt application using chatapi¹
(it will be after I learn)

---

Requirements

• Java 21 (JDK)
• Qt 6.7.2

Usage

In both cases, replace /home/user/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/lib with your Qt installation²

• Just run:

  ./mvnw compile exec:java -Djava.library.path=/home/user/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/lib
  

• Package³ and run:

  ./mvnw package
  java -Djava.library.path=/home/user/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/lib -jar target/chaqt-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
  

Downloading Qt

• For 64-bit Linux:
  1. ./download_qt.sh
  2. Installed to ./Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/lib
• For other systems, or if you want to DIY:
  1. Download the Qt Online Installer and execute
  2. You will be asked to create a Qt account - you have to⁴ (that's why I provide a download)
  3. Click through until you see the installation options.
     Take note of the Installation folder and choose Custom Installation
  4. Select -> Deselect All
     Then select Qt -> Qt 6.7.2 -> Desktop
  5. Click through until you finish
  6. Note the absolute⁵ path to 6.7.2/gcc_64/lib in your installation folder

Notes⁶

1. considering renaming ↩︎

2. You can use an environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of -Djava.library.path. Make it the same value ↩︎

3. Saves the artifact as chaqt-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in the target directory.
   You can move it away and delete this repo ↩︎

4. You will also receive unwanted emails.
   To unsubscribe, you must click a tracking link, look here ↩︎

5. Absolute means like /home/user/Qt/6.7.2/gcc_64/lib ↩︎

6. I love footnotes ↩︎
