Hello!

I'm seasoned programmer, I'd like to contribute. Any information on workflow, development environment? Software, Libraries and so on.

There's a lot of developer information like coding guidelines, build and translation howtos, and more, in the Github Wiki. The ToDo there seems pretty outdated, though.

Then there's the doxygen class documentation.

Communication happens here in the forum or via Github issues/pull requests.

That's about all I know or comes to my mind now, I'm a casual v4 user, v5 tester, issue reporter, packager somtimes code contributor but not a capable programmer.

Hello,
I have correctly compiled QLC+ using commandline interface (on windows and will test later on archlinux) :)
now, i would like to contribute. for that, i need an IDE.
as QLC+ is a QT-"multi-project" architectured project, (and as i'm a new QT programmer but experienced C programmer) i'm a bit lost :geek: ...

does the QLC+ Git folder is ready to use Qt creator ?
does the QLC+ Git folder is ready to use Visual Code studio + Qt plugin ?
or do i need to "re-generate" the project environment myself ?
if so, i hope someone explain here the big steps to have a good environment. :roll:

in advance, thanks a lot for the answer.

I use Qt Creator on Linux and configure/build from command line.
Open the main CMakeLists.txt file and that's it
