[cfe-dev] Using qmake and LibTooling

[Jens Weller]

Yes, but still I don't wanna use clang with qmake, or be able to build clang with qmake.
I can build clang with cmake, and thats fine in that way.
All I need is to make use of the libraries provided by clang such as LibTooling, to build Tools that use Qt as a Frontend. And this works now.

kind regards,

Jens Weller
