Build System

The Qucs build system is currently based on The Autools (autoconf, automake, libtool, configure, make, ...)

There is a working version based on CMake configuration files.

Projects for IDEs

An integrated development environment (IDE) offer some nice facilities as code-completion, online-help, integrated debugger...

Qt Creator

Qt Creator can read the CMake files as project files.

Available for the graphical tools: qucs qucs-attenuator qucs-edit qucs-filter

qucs-filter-v2 qucs-help qucs-lib qucs-transcalc

Not available: qucs-doc qucs-core qucs-doc

Code::Blocks

Code::Blocks projects can be created out of the CMake files:
