This directory contains examples that demonstrate how to use the QMenuModel
-QML binding in applications.
+binding in Qt and QML applications.
+
To export an example menu model on the bus, run 'exportmenu.py'.
+
To render this menu in a QML application, run 'render-menumodel.qml' in
qmlscene. You will need to inform qmlscene of the location of the QMenuModel
plugin if it’s not installed system-wide, e.g.:
- qmlscene -I libqmenumodel examples/render-menumodel.qml
+ $ qmlscene -I libqmenumodel examples/render-menumodel.qml
+
+
+To compile a C++ executable that uses libqmenumodel to monitor and print
+information about the exported menu, run `cmake` and then `make` from this
+directory. This assumes that libqmenumodel-dev is installed on the system
+(it won’t work with a local copy). Then, run the executable generated:
+
+ $ cmake .
+ $ make
+ $ ./info-menumodel
