Installation and Deployment

This problem is Raspberry Pi's making maybe. I wanted to say 'If GL_ values type isn't bool?'. There are many answer to this. I close this discussion. Thanks Chris!

Check also the dependencies of libqxcb, IIRC there's a new lib since 5.5

Go to PowerShell, or cmd, and type this dir C:\Program" "Files" (x86)"\Windows" "Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10586.0\um\x64\shell32.lib > C:\tmp\shell32_lib_verification.txt Open the file created; you should have something like this Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10586.0\um\x64 Mode LastWriteTime Length Name -a---- 2015-11-19 9:04 PM 260368 shell32.lib Keep posting, for good or bad, the forum will do its best to help you.

Building binaries for linux is definitely a pain. I have a number of closed source projects that I am having to do it for now. One thing that will help you a ton is Linux Standard Base. This will help you get maximum compatibility across as many distros as you need. Bottom line is it will take effort to support a lot of linux flavors due to ... nevermind, LSB website will explain why. :) Oh and Linux is so much better of an OS than Windows. I fight with windows constantly, my OSX and Linux stuff just works great. Binary builds aside as those are really a pain under linux. Small price to pay to not deal with windows all the time though. And I started my career as a pure windows developer. So my new bias is a recent development. Once you work a lot in a posix based OS you will absolutely hate going back and supporting windows.

Thank you for the link. If I used directly Qmake it would be practical, but through CMake it seems to become much more complicated. There have been some discussions about this topic on the CMake forum (such as here https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060069.html) and the solutions are basically to patch Qt to make it work. Nevertheless, an alternative solution is to patch CMake to deal with static plugin: https://www.mail-archive.com/cmake%40cmake.org/msg51188.html I hope this will help, I will try it myself.

Hi, Could you show us the error message please?

5.6 beta has a package for VS2015

An offline installer is exactly this: offline. It should contain everything without requiring internet connection for any parts of the software. For your needs there is already the online installer, so why not just use this one and select only the parts you need?

I saw it and took some inspiration, but at the moment a cannot use all techniques of this example. I am working on city building game where there is lots of (moving) objects. In my worst performance test scenario I have slightly over 30 FPS (acceptable) but on gtx970, so I am little worried what will happen on worse cards.

Yes, indeed there is a "skip" button ! sorry and thank you :)

Hi, while ClickOnce is a nice technology, it is best suited for deploying .NET applications (it uses the security features of .NET). On Windows Qt apps are native C++ apps, and for Visual Studio 2015, Microsoft states that "ClickOnce does not support deployment of native C++ applications" :-( more here But I think if you add some .NET component to your Qt app, then using ClickOnce would be possible.

I forgot these points: I use Qt IFW 2.0.1 I'm working on Windows setup only for the moment Thanks

Close. Just had to add the working directory and get admin rights.

I have all the same. I compiled and install QtSystems on OS X, but only QtPublishSubscribe was build. And then I try to run qml-battery it says: "module "QtSystemInfo" is not installed".

That is what I was thinking regarding the compatibility of the two versions, I will attempt the change and let you know

Then you have to ensure that your application is run after Xorg is started. By the way, do you really need an Xorg server (outside the fact that you are using the xcb plugin) ?

The DEFINES still don't make sense and unless you are generating headers as part of your build (which doesn't seem to be the case) There's no need of the paths added to INCLUDEPATH. The errors you are getting indicates that the class is not built.

There are "Add" and "Delete" buttons in the add-in options dialog for managing Qt versions. No need to manually mingle with the registry. Version 1.2.4 has a known problem with VS2012 so you do need to use 1.2.3 until a new one comes.

@Mr-Pang Why to disable neon? Do you have built qtimageformats submodule? If not go to qtimageformats folder in your Qt directory, run /path_to_your/qmake , then make and sudo make install. Read this article.
