Examples are intended to show how to build against an installed Qt. Building them as part of the main build means the way the Qt targets are defined and created are not representative of an end user's build. By building them as separate projects using ExternalProject, we can more closely replicate the intended audience's environment. This should allow us to catch more problems earlier. Having examples built as part of the main build also creates problems with some static builds where a tool built by the main build is needed during configure time. This happens with other repos like qtdeclarative but not (currently) with qtbase. Converting the examples in qtbase to be built using ExternalProject is intended as a demonstrator for how other repos can do similar. Until other repos are converted, they will continue to work as they did before, with examples as part of the main build for non-static builds only. The new build-externally behavior is only supported for non-prefix builds with this change. Prefix builds will continue to use the old non-external method. Support for building examples externally in prefix builds will be a separate change.

The Address Book Tutorial shows how to put together a simple yet fully-functioning GUI application. The tutorial chapters can be found in the Qt documentation, which can be viewed using Qt Assistant or a Web browser. The tutorial is also available online at http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/tutorials-addressbook.html All programs corresponding to the chapters in the tutorial should automatically be built when Qt is compiled, or will be provided as pre-built executables if you have obtained a binary package of Qt. If you have only compiled the Qt libraries, use the following instructions to build the tutorial. On Linux/Unix: Typing 'make' in this directory builds all the programs (part1/part1, part2/part2, part3/part3 and so on). Typing 'make' in each subdirectory builds just that tutorial program. On Windows: Create a single Visual Studio project for the tutorial directory in the usual way. You can do this by typing the following at the command line: qmake -tp vc You should now be able to open the project file in Visual Studio and build all of the tutorial programs at the same time. On Mac OS X: Create an Xcode project with the .pro file in the tutorial directory. You can do this by typing the following at the command line: qmake -spec macx-xcode Then open the generated Xcode project in Xcode and build it.
