I want to start a new C++ (Qt) Open Source project and I'm wondering if there is an existing template somewhere for files usually found in an Open Source project but that are not purely source code (README, LICENSE, CHANGELOG, etc.)
I could probably find a popular Open Source project for inspiration but if there is some existing generic templates, I will use that instead.
Thanks.

One place to look might be the implementation of the GNU Hello program. It includes all the standard template files expected by the GNU coding guidelines.
You may, of course, choose to follow another set of guidelines than GNU's.

You might find the boost sandbox template interesting: Sandbox Template

I'm starting to get into customizing OC3 for my needs, and see the benefit of putting extensions in OCMOD files.
I assume people test and debug their code by temporarily rewriting the core files, and only write the OCMODs after the extension is ready.
Given an original file and a version with a customized script or modification, is there a tool to compare them and generate the OCMOD xml automatically? (maybe based on diff)
Or extension developers do that manually?
Try this repository in github. it automatically generates install.xml :
https://github.com/ataul/ocmod_generator
There are no tools available for OCMOD.
Extension Developers do that manually.

I'm trying to see how a class is implemented in Qt C++, but not sure how to get there. Any short cuts? or how I can see how a class is implemented, for example. QString.
Two different ways:
Browse the sources locally
The easiest way it to install it from Qt online installer. For each version of Qt, you check the Sources component, which will automatically download it for you in your Qt folder
Pull the Git repo directly from https://code.qt.io/cgit/. You can refer to that guide to download the full source: https://wiki.qt.io/Get_the_Source
Browse online
Probably the easiest, and two places again
From Qt official repo, here again https://code.qt.io/cgit/
Or (my preference) from Woboq, as they provide great navigation tools (search, navigate to declaration, definition, uses,...) and syntax highlight: https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/corelib/tools/qstring.cpp.html

I am looking for some frontend (GUI, Graphical user interface) for GCC and G++ which is oriented towards helping me setup the compiler in a user-friendly way.
I am not looking for a development environment, and the code edition is being made on a dedicated text editor (VS Code, Atom, whatever). I only want to compile my source and header files and change any compiler setting.
You can use Make to properly compile your files through a configuration (Makefile), but there is no GUI.

I want to write a program that runs before Visual Studio compiles my project.
It needs to extract only the types, names and parameters of all functions, classes, structs, enums my project is using from files in a specific folder (/sdk) and copy those into a new folder (/sdkmin)
So I basically want to have a program that minifies the sdk my project is using.
Is there any decent library that allows me to do that without having to write my own parser/lexer/whatever?
I think what you should do is look at some clang tools like "clang-format", "include-what-you-use", etc., which build on the clang AST front-end stuff to do various interesting things. This will provide the lexer and parser for you, which would indeed take a very long time if you started from scratch.

Is there a good C++ library for manipulating files and directories, other than Boost's filesystem? [closed]

I've been having a heck of a time trying to link filesystem into my program on my Unix machine and so I'm going to give up and try another library if a good one exists. Come to think of it, the only functionalities I need are:
(1) Verifying the existence of a folder by its full path given by a user in the command line
(2) Checking whether a filename/extension combination exists in a directory given by a user in the command line
Can I get that from the standard library?
I would recommend Qt. Great file handling classes.

QFile and QDir are a good place to start.
