Function Documentation

◆ kdeFrameworksPaths()

QStringList KLibexec::kdeFrameworksPaths ( const QString & relativePath)
inline

default paths list for KDE Frameworks

This function returns a fairly opinionated list of paths you can feed into QStandardPaths. The list includes various standard locations for Qt and KDE Frameworks and should generally be sensible for most use cases. You may wish to append the absolute installation path as final fallback.

Warning
The precise content and order of the list is an implementation detail and not expected to remain stable!
Parameters
relativePathsee path() - not all paths get this appended!
Returns
QStringList list of search paths

◆ path()

QString KLibexec::path ( const QString & relativePath)
inline

Absolute libexec path resolved in relative relation to the current shared object.

This function helps locate the absolute libexec path relative to the caller's binary artifact.

For example:

  • Your source gets built with prefix /usr
  • Your binary artifact's presumed absolute path will be /usr/lib/libfoobar.so
  • You call KLibexec::path("libexec/foobar")

Scenario 1 - The binaries are actually installed in /usr:

  • The function's output is /usr/lib/libexec/foobar/ (resolved relatively from /usr/lib/libfoobar.so)

Scenario 2 - The same binaries are installed in /opt (or moved there):

  • The function's output is /opt/lib/libexec/foobar/ (resolved relatively from /opt/lib/libfoobar.so)
Parameters
relativePathrelative element to append (e.g. "libexec/foobar" resulting in /usr/lib/libexec/foobar/ as output) when called with an empty string you effectively get the directory of your binary artifact.
Returns
QString absolute libexec path or empty string if it cannot be resolved
