Even though you can use Qt or QML in Microsoft Visual Studio as it is to generate Windows C++ applications, it makes sense to use CMake to generate these Visual Studio solutions and GCC Makefiles based on CMakeLists files. For Python applications we recommend using Visual Studio Code, which is a free and open source code editor, running on Windows and Linux.

 

CMake is an open source, cross-platform toolset to build applications for various operating systems and processors using compiler independent configuration files.

To make use of Qt under Linux and Windows STEMMER IMAGING has generated CMake configuration files for Common Vision Blox.
