First Kirigami Project¶
Kirigami can be used in your project in different ways, depending from the build system and the deployment needs.
CMake¶
CMake is the recommended build system for Kirigami based applications. It can be built and used in two ways - Dynamic: This is the preferred way. Kirigami is built and linked as a dynamic plugin and library. Usually system packages of Kirigami are used, tough this mode can also be used with containerized solutions such as flatpak, Snap and Appimage. - Static: Kirigami is statically linked inside the application executable: it simplified deployment but some features are lost. It is not recommended to use this for deployment on Linux desktop systems.
QMake¶
The Kirigami dynamic build can also be used from a qmake-based project. QMake can also be used to statically build and link Kirigami into a qmake-based project.
