    44     \title IDC - The Interface Description Compiler (ActiveQt)
       
    45

    50     The IDC tool is part of the ActiveQt build system and makes
       
    51     it possible to turn any Qt binary into a full COM object server 
       
    52     with only a few lines of code.
       
    53 
       
    54     IDC understands the following command line parameters:
       
    55 
       
    56     \table
       
    57     \header
       
    58     \i Option
       
    59     \i Result
       
    60     \row
       
    61     \i dll -idl idl -version x.y
       
    62     \i Writes the IDL of the server \e dll to the file \e idl. The
       
    63        type library wll have version x.y.
       
    64     \row
       
    65     \i dll -tlb tlb
       
    66     \i Replaces the type library in \e dll with \e tlb
       
    67     \row
       
    68     \i -v
       
    69     \i Print version information
       
    70     \row
       
    71     \i -regserver dll
       
    72     \i Register the COM server \e dll
       
    73     \row
       
    74     \i -unregserver
       
    75     \i Unregister the COM server \e dll
       
    76     \endtable
       
    77 
       
    78     It is usually never necessary to invoke IDC manually, as the \c
       
    79     qmake build system takes care of adding the required post 
       
    80     processing steps to the build process. See the  \l{ActiveQt}
       
    81     documentation for details.
