Compiling/IDEs

This section gives information on the compilation process of the C++ applications/plugins on OS X, Linux, and Windows.

As a build system CornerStone uses qmake by Nokia (previously by Trolltech). Qmake is available on a wide range of platforms, and it can generate project files for Microsoft Visual Studio (on Windows), XCode (on OS X), and Makefiles on all platforms. Further, QtCreator IDE provides an integrated development environment with the qmake build system on all platforms.
