Description
When cloning Qt from git, we advise users and contributors to use qt5.git, and call init-repository .
init-repository is written in Perl though, which is not installed by default. Since we got rid of the other mandatory perl dependency - syncqt - a while ago, init-repository is actually the last more-or-less mandatory part in the Qt Build System using Perl.
The goal is to replace init-repository in CMake, with a small bat/.sh wrapper. This has following advantages:
- Removal of Perl dependency
- Could be transparent, e.g. just cmake ~/dev/qt5
