Installation and Deployment

It's pretty unusual to have the building of a framework as big as Qt as part of the build process of an application,

"in Linux" is a bit generic... also there is no reason to use an outdated patch version, use 5.6.3 at least for Ubuntu Xenial: sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:beineri/opt-qt563-xenial sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qt56base qt56tools qt56declarative qt56quickcontrols2 qt563d See https://launchpad.net/~beineri

Yes, I went a similar route - I downloaded the offline installer through the proxy and that went fine - however I cannot update the installation now which is annoying :| Anyway, you're right, this topic can be closed :)

I don't know the problems exactly. However ,I use the approaches which was published in the stackoverflow to solve this question. I typed the phrase"install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.20.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib libqsqlmysql.dylib" in the Terminal, and then it worked!!!!!! When I connect MySql to QT, I faced the problem about the permission. Then I changed the "hostname" and in the last , I can use QT to edit the Mysql database. Thx!!!!

The people in charge are now aware of this problem and working on it.

@MHermann Stuck with exact same problem. Can you be more specific on how you solved it? i don't understand the solution you put down here. can you be detailed?

I noticed that the .dmg file has been recreated after I posted. The new version works normally, just like it always did. Thanks. SGaist: Fusion drive (the Mac's from 2012.) ambershark: thanks for the -nomount trick. I'll keep it in mind next time I hit an issue like this.

Hi @Zueuk, please don't delete your post after the issue is resolved. Keep it there so that other people with the same problem can understand the solution.

No worries ! Don't forget to update this thread when you get an answer so other people can benefit from it :)

I was compiling qt5.9.3 with vs2017 and always get error. Can you tell me your step to compile source code ?

Thanks for your tip.I fixed it by selecting opengl option.

Hi, Glad you found out and thanks for sharing ! Did you also installed the MySQL client dev package ? If not, it might explain the missing symlink you had.

Have you installed Qt as root user? I'd rather recommend using standard user, and install it locally.

@BINALECTRUM said in Android build and deploy. 64bit, Clang, new app store developer console rules [2018 & 2019]: Is Qt going more in embedded/car side and just slowly drops Android/mobile platform? In Roadmap 2018 there is nothing new about mobile platform. i heavily doubt that. I guess the reason is more because Qt runs more or less stable on Android. There are no bigger features which need to be implemented, mostly bug fixing. What is your move Qt team on new app store rules in developer console: minimal platform-26 in August 2018 and 64-bit apk in 2019? Some new changes in build and deploy area? i asked this at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately haven't received an answer.

Hi jiancaiyang, Thanks for your answer. Do you mean qt examples? I studied all of them. But this issue is not covered. The core problem is: We need to register some logic before requesting the first respository. There is indeed some examples explaining how to register pages. But they all register pages within a package. Unfortunately, this is not what we need.

There is no easy way to do customize those windows. You would have to write your own installer. Installers in general are boring and people tend to just fast click through it to get the software installed. If it were me I wouldn't put much time into your installer. As long as it works nobody cares how fascinating it is. They'll only ever see it once and briefly at that. :)
