QCAD.org Forum

I just discovered QCad from a friend and it looks like a solid and great piece of software!
I was looking at the console and the fact that Qt Object are wrapped in the ECMA engine.

From what I understand, old Qt owners (trolltech) used to distribute a qt-script-generator responsible for creating the project that are committed under https://github.com/qcad/qcad/tree/master/src/3rdparty

Is it how where those "generated_cpp" comes from? Is the script-generator commited anywhere else?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is that a sensitive/tough topic?

Not that I'd know.

No, just not very relevant for the vast majority of QCAD users / developers

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I can imagine most of QCAD users don't care.
Reason I asked is that I had played with the qtscriptgenerator and Qt4 a while back, and when moving to Qt5 projects I hard a hard time trying to compile it.
I had found this phbaer guy who forked the repository from shibukawa, but still I could manage to make it work with my Qt5 setup.

You can find the Qt script bindings we're using for QCAD under:

Hello Andrew. I found the QtScript bindings but I was wondering which qt-script-generator generated those projects.
Last time I tried the fork from shibukawa it would not properly run with Qt5.7+

Hi Andrew, I know I'm kinda off topic here. I'm finally moving to Qt5 and still wondering if you maintain Qt-script-generator or if you work from the generated projects themselves.
I found a Python wrapper project that seems to continue working on the script-generator originally from Trolltech, I believe this could soon become useful with Qt6 dropping QtScript
