Generate Framework compilation database from CLI

[jim-bcom]

PROBLEM Currently, to generate the files for this project, we need to generate the Framework compilation database from QtCreator by enabling qmake system() and clicking on Build->Generate Compilation Database for "SolARFramework". In order to be able to automate the process of bulding this project, e.g. by our CI, we need a way to be able to do this via CLI.

SUGGESTED SOLUTION I've been trying to use bear that aimed at doing creating this file from a Makefile-based project.

cd SolARFramework
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../SolARFramework.pro -spec linux-g++
bear make

Unfortunately, when passed to the xpcf_grpc_gen tool, the resulting project seems to be missing a lot of files. We may need to either check bear has been used properly (did I miss some options?) or find another bear-like tool, or update xpcf_grpc_gen in order to be able to parse the file generated by bear as well, if it is verified that it is well-formed. Attached to this issue, the two compile_commands.json, one generated by QtCreator, the other one generated by bear.

Another tool seemed promising, I tried it quicly on Framework makefile, but it seems to infinitely loop. https://github.com/nickdiego/compiledb

Hello,

I have already test Compiledb and the resulting project also seems to be missing a lot of files. I have noticed there is no update on this tool then I don't think it's a solution unfortunately
