SMOKE (Scripting Meta Object Kompiler Engine) bindings for Qt 6. This project generates language-independent introspection libraries that expose Qt 6 classes, methods, and enums through a flat C interface, enabling language bindings such as QtRuby, PerlQt, and CommonQt (Lisp) to call into Qt without hand-written wrapper code.

Optional/disabled modules: QtDBus, QtHelp, QtMultimedia, QtMultimediaWidgets, QtPositioning, QtScxml, QtSpatialAudio, QtTest, QtUiTools, Qt3DAnimation, Qt3DCore, Qt3DExtras, Qt3DInput, Qt3DLogic, Qt3DRender, QScintilla, Qwt.

• CMake >= 3.22
• C++17 compiler (MSVC 2019+, GCC, or Clang)
• Qt 6 (6.x, tested with 6.11)
• smokegen — the SMOKE code generator (must be built first, expected at ../smokegen/)

SmokeQt depends on smokegen, the code generator. Clone and build it so that its CMake config and binary are available:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=\path\to\install -DCMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY=MultiThreadedDLL -DSMOKE_QT_VERSION=6 -DQt6_DIR=\path\to\qt6\lib\cmake\Qt6 -DLLVM_DIR=\path\to\llvm\lib\cmake\llvm
ninja -j 6
ninja install

On Windows, run the cmake commands from an x64 Native Tools Command Prompt. The Visual Studio generator can be used instead of Ninja if preferred, but Ninja is recommended for faster incremental builds.
