Is there any ArcGIS Runtime for Qt Quick CMake sample project available?

[Jan-Tschada]

We are integrating a bunch of C++ utility libraries into our ArcGIS Runtime for Qt Quick based sample viewer. Usually these C++ utility libraries are compiled using CMake. The Qt company offers some samples using Qt Quick with CMake. 

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)

project(QPyApp LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)

set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

# QtCreator supports the following variables for Android, which are identical to qmake Android variables.
# Check https://doc.qt.io/qt/deployment-android.html for more information.
# They need to be set before the find_package(...) calls below.

#if(ANDROID)
#    set(ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android")
#    if (ANDROID_ABI STREQUAL "armeabi-v7a")
#        set(ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS
#            ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/libcrypto.so
#            ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/libssl.so)
#    endif()
#endif()

find_package(QT NAMES Qt6 Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Quick REQUIRED)
find_package(Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} COMPONENTS Core Quick REQUIRED)

set(PROJECT_SOURCES
        main.cpp
        qml.qrc
)

if(${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} GREATER_EQUAL 6)
    qt_add_executable(QPyApp
        ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
    )
else()
    if(ANDROID)
        add_library(QPyApp SHARED
            ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
        )
    else()
        add_executable(QPyApp
          ${PROJECT_SOURCES}
        )
    endif()
endif()

target_compile_definitions(QPyApp
  PRIVATE $<$<OR:$<CONFIG:Debug>,$<CONFIG:RelWithDebInfo>>:QT_QML_DEBUG>)
target_link_libraries(QPyApp
  PRIVATE Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Core Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Quick)

Would you be so kind and provide a sample using CMake and share it using arcgis-runtime-samples-qt

Hi @Jan-Tschada ,

We do have CMake support with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt. If you create a new ArcGIS template app with Qt Creator, it will give you the option to use QMake or CMake. I've configured a 100.11.2 CMake template to share with you.

There's an included CMakeLists.txt, FindArcGISRuntime.cmake and the SDK installation includes a ArcGISRuntime.cmake file that does the rest (included in sdk/ideintegration folder).

I hope this works for you.

Very nice. We usually just upgrade existing projects and were not aware of this great enhancement. I just started to get my hands dirty and saw some linker warnings regarding the EsriRuntimeQtd.pdb not being linked with EsriRuntimeQtd.lib(LicenseResult.obj) and the other related *.obj's  on Windows.

But anyway, this CMake support helps us a lot and should make it to the official website. Otherwise we would not be able to deliver our DevOps release pipeline by integrating our CMake based vcpkg packages.
