Qtz is a Qt-based Application Development Framework. Currently Qtz consists of the following libraries:
- QtzCore
- Solar Hijri (Jalali) Date and Time [1]
- Persian Number Formatter (Numeral to String converter)
- Single Application Instance Mechanism
- Settings Backend
- QtzSecurity
- Authentication
- Access Control Lists
- Simple Encryption / Decryption and Hash algorithms
- Software License Management
- Virtual Machine Detection
- Unique Hardware Identifier
- QtzData
- Asynchronous Data Model (Thanks to obeezzy)
- Database Integration Backend (multiple RDMs)
- Data Management Utilities (vendor-agnostic backup, restore, encryption tools)
- Data Analysis Tools
- QtzWidgets
- Advanced Editor Widgets (Editable Label, Various Tables, etc.)
- Hexadecimal Editor (Based on Dax89's work)
- Data Management GUI
- Security GUI Backend
- OpenCV Image Viewer
- Miscellaneous
This library depends on Qt5, QCA and OpenCV. Following versions of these libraries were used to build Qtz. Any compatible version should also do the work.
| Dependency | Version |
|---|---|
| QCA | 2.3.4 |
| OpenCV | 4.x |
You will also need a modern C++ compiler that implements C++17 specification. The library is built and tested on following environments:
| Operating System | Version / Distro | Compiler |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | 10 | MSVC 16 (Visual Studio 2019) |
Debian/Ubuntu packages are available at following repository. You will need repository key to validate you got the package from the person you think you're getting it from. This prevent anyone injecting packages into your updates:
In order to install public key:
wget -qO - https://deb.ametisco.ir/key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Fingerprint of the above key must be:
8995 8D90 8EB5 CD04 46D7 D45D 457C EB8B 9CA8 25CC
Add repository:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://deb.ametisco.ir/ bionic ametis"
Install software:
sudo apt install \
libqtzcore-dev libqtzdata-dev libqtzsecurity-dev libqtzwidgets-dev
To compile Qtz on *nix like environments type:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
To speed up build process you may want to use make -j<N> where <N> is number
of your processors.
Qtz is shipped with a comprehensive automated test suite. In order to run tests,
you need to specify input data to test program. After compiling the library, go
to build directory and run tst_qtz and pass input parameters in command line
as specified below:
--enable-mysql Enables MySQL test suite. Default: set.
--disable-mysql Disables MySQL test suite. Default: not-set.
--mysql-database Specifies MySQL database name. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored.
--mysql-host Specifies MySQL host. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored.
--mysql-port Specifies MySQL port number. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored. Default: 3306
--mysql-username Specifies MySQL username. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored. Default: root
--mysql-password Specifies MySQL user's password. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored.
--mysql-root-password Specifies MySQL root's password. If --disable-mysql is set, this parameter is ignored.
If build has been finished successfully, you may want to install it:
sudo cmake --install .
- The Jalali (Solar Hijri) calendar implementation and its widget are considered to be deprecated and will be removed in the future versions. Several calendaring system implementations have already been merged into Qt version 5.14 and is available since then.
