[Kde-bindings] Default values?

[Mauro Iazzi]

Hi,

you may want to have a look at my lqt project. It contains Qt4 bindings for
Lua ( http://www.lua.org ), which is a language with ANSI C interface.

lqt is not part of the KDE project, and it does not have KDE bindings yet,
though I plan to include them at some point. It also does not use Smoke. I
only worked on it in Linux, so I don't know how it would work on other
platforms (though it should be quite portable).

You can find lqt in its git repository
http://repo.or.cz/w/lqt.git
The snapshots include a BUILD file which should help understanding how it
works.

One of the steps of the bindings generation is an XML description of the Qt
API, which includes the information you want. It does not create a separate
C binding before the Lua one, but it should not be too difficult to do.

It is not very well documented yet, so feel free to ask question if
something is not clear.
