\title IDC - The Interface Description Compiler (ActiveQt)
46
\ingroup activeqt-tools
50
The IDC tool is part of the ActiveQt build system and makes
51
it possible to turn any Qt binary into a full COM object server
52
with only a few lines of code.
54
IDC understands the following command line parameters:
61
\i dll -idl idl -version x.y
62
\i Writes the IDL of the server \e dll to the file \e idl. The
63
type library wll have version x.y.
66
\i Replaces the type library in \e dll with \e tlb
69
\i Print version information
72
\i Register the COM server \e dll
75
\i Unregister the COM server \e dll
78
It is usually never necessary to invoke IDC manually, as the \c
79
qmake build system takes care of adding the required post
80
processing steps to the build process. See the \l{ActiveQt}
81
documentation for details.
