## Detailed Description

### Using the Module

Using a Qt module's C++ API requires linking against the module library, either directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.

#### Building with CMake

Use the `find_package()` command to locate the needed module component in the `Qt6` package:

     find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS WaylandCompositor)
     target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Qt6::WaylandCompositor)

For more details, see the Build with CMake overview.

#### Building with qmake

To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value of the `QT` variable in the project's .pro file:

     QT += waylandcompositor

For more information about using these classes in your application, see the Qt Wayland Compositor documentation.
