WIP Qml Bindings for Haskell

Build instructions

You need to install Qt6 (including all the qml stuff) for your system. Then you can build and install dotherside.

On mac os, I change my CMake install prefix to my homebrew prefix and had to manually edit the pkg-config file like so:

prefix=/opt/homebrew
libdir=/opt/homebrew/lib
includedir=/opt/homebrew/include

Name: DOtherSide
Description: C language library for creating binding for the Qt QML language
Version: 0.9.0
Libs: -L${libdir} -lDOtherSide -Wl,-rpath,/opt/homebrew/lib
Cflags: -I${includedir}/DOtherSide -I${includedir}

What is implemented

  • Complete raw bindings to dotherside
  • The beginings of a simple interface to use those bindings

It is very very rough around the edges, and some of the code is of serious poor quality. But it somewhat works!

Todo list:

  • Get nested QObjects working
  • Clean up QObjects as QVariants
  • Workout how to load QResources so that you can split the QML between multiple files
  • Look for memory leaks (At this point the allocations won't change much)
  • Faster diffing algorithm

Where are the docs?

Given that the interface is subject to change, I have not documented. Look at test/Main.hs and test/main.qml for example. We warned that QObjects in QObjects is not yet implemented. You can basically only use qProperty and qSlot as of now.
