Installation

Since the QtInterfaceFramework module uses the same Configure System as the rest of Qt, you can do build-time configuration and enable only the features that you need.

Features Available

The following table describes the features available in the module. Similar to other modules, the available features are auto-detected and displayed after the configuration step in the "Configure summary".

Feature	Dependency	Description
Interface Framework Generator	python3 python3-virtualenv	The Interface Framework Generator provides tooling to generate source code from Interface Definition Language (IDL) files. The Interface Framework Generator comes with a set of templates for specific code generation use cases.
QtRemoteObjects Support	QtRemoteObjects module	The QtRemoteObjects Support is needed to generate `interfaceframework` back ends, using QtRemoteObjects for its Inter-Process Communication (IPC). This feature also provides templates to generate the server part of this IPC.
