Week 1

  • Weekly milestone:
    • As I haven't worked with Qt before I will focus on getting more familiarized with it this week and also a more detailed look on the existing dm's code to be sure I will not miss anything.

    • Created a first qt small application. It is not something complicated. I focused on the compilation procedure and how to integrate qt with cmake.
  • 18 June 2013:
    • I successfully built a qt project using cmake. I struggled with the difference between Qt4 and Qt5 but finally managed to make a cmake build.
