Introduction
This document aims to provide information about Elektra's qt-gui feature. qt-gui offers a graphical interface for users of Elektra. It allows users to create, manage, edit, and delete keys stored in KDB.

Compiling and Installation

  Dependencies
In order to compile and use the new qt-gui there are a few dependencies which must be installed.

•   qt5.3 or greater

•   libdrm-dev

•   libdiscount (libmarkdown2-dev)

Additionally, you may need qtdeclarative5-dev which is available in wheezy-backports.

I was able to install the correct dependencies on my system, running Kubuntu 14.10 using the command:
sudo apt-get install qt5-default qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects libdrm-dev libmarkdown2-dev

  Compiling
Compile Elektra as normal as per the COMPILE document http://libelektra.org/tree/master/doc/COMPILE.md making sure to include the qt-gui tool using the -DTOOLS flag.

For instance: -DTOOLS=ALL or -DTOOLS=qt-gui

Note: If you install qt5 manually, you must either: - make sure the qt5 libraries are included in LD_LIBRARY_PATH - OR make sure to specify -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt5.3.0/5.3/gcc_64/lib/cmake

  Installing
You can now install Elektra as you normally would or as described in the install documentation http://libelektra.org/tree/master/doc/INSTALL.md.

To Run
The following command will launch the Qt-GUI:

    kdb qt-gui
