Hey there, I'm currently looking into packaging solutions for a Qt5 application. I was playing around with the Qt Installer Framework 2.0.1 and so far it works nicely. The package consists of a main application and several optional components (source package, samples, plugins). The build product folder structure looks similar to this
build/bin/<app and sample binaries> build/bin/qss/<style sheets> build/bin/plugins/<custom application plugins> ... In QtIFW I defined several components to let the user decide what he wants to install: packages/io.qt.root packages/io.qt.root.qt5 packages/org.application.root packages/org.application.root.base packages/org.application.root.samples packages/org.application.root.plugins .... The problem I'm facing now is the transition from build directory to package directory. I could write a python script which splits binaries up and sorts them into their desired package folder. This seems to be the standard solution, but also the biggest effort. I wonder if there is any easier and nicer solution within qmake? Ideally I would be able to define the target folder in each *.pro file and run 'make package' in the end. Has somebody tried this? I didn't want to use the INSTALL commands, since that should install in the final folder structure and not into a package structure. Any ideas? Cheers R.
