Importing external Qt-Project into IDE

[Bernhard Reinhardt]

Hi there,

I want to use an open source linux program and add minor changes. I am
quite a beginner and my experience is limited to some little mainly
C-style console programs.

It's hard for me to find out what´s going on in the different source
files. So I thought about importing the project in a graphical IDE.

I played around with kdesigner and the Qt-plugin for eclipse. Both relay
on .pro and .ui files which are not included in the source. I'm not sure
what tools where used to create the program.

My question: Is it possible to import/convert such a source into a
Qt-Project (with pro and ui files)

You can find the source I'm talking about here:

Most likely some Qt specific tool, like their designer. If those
are text files, you probably can create those files in any text
editor you like, provided you know the format of the files.

You seem to have a question about Qt. Did you know they have their
own online forums? I am sure you can find them on the web site for
TrollTech. Your inquiry seems to have nothing to do with the C++
*programming language*, the topic of this newsgroup.

I suggest using Doxygen to get an overall code organization view of
the source. You can configure that tool to produce many types of
diagrams that show dependencies amoung source files.
