Qt Xlsx Build

Note: QZipWriter and QZipReader which live in gui-private is used in this library. For linux user, if your Qt is installed through package manager tools such "apt-get", make sure that you have installed the Qt5 develop package *qtbase5-private-dev* ; if you Qt is built from source by yourself, or download from qt-project.org directly, nothing need to do.

Usage(1): Use Xlsx as Qt5's addon module

1. Download the source code from github.com.

2. Put the source code in any directory you like. At the toplevel directory run

Note: Perl is needed in this step.

qmake
make
make install

The library, the header files, and others will be installed to your system.

3. Add following line to your qmake's project file:

QT += xlsx

4. Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code

#include "xlsxdocument.h"
int main()
{
    QXlsx::Document xlsx;
    xlsx.write("A1", "Hello Qt!");
    xlsx.saveAs("Test.xlsx");
    return 0;
}

Usage(2): Use source code directly

The package contains a qtxlsx.pri file that allows you to integrate the component into applications that use qmake for the build step.

1. Download the source code from github.com

2. Put the source code in any directory you like. For example, 3rdparty:

|-- project.pro
|-- ....
|-- 3rdparty\
|     |-- qtxlsx\
|     |

3. Add following line to your qmake project file:

include(3rdparty/qtxlsx/src/xlsx/qtxlsx.pri)

Note: If you like, you can copy all files from *src/xlsx* to your application's source path. Then add following line to your project file:

include(qtxlsx.pri)

Note: If you do not use qmake, you need to define the following macro manually

XLSX_NO_LIB

4. Then, using Qt Xlsx in your code
