Installation and Deployment

The PATH environment variable is the way to go, but it's pretty simple to patch the core binary in-place for other paths. If you look at "src\corelib\global\qconfig.cpp", you'll see that all library/plugin/doc/etc locations are null-terminated into 524-length arrays; this was obviously done with patching in mind. I imagine the installer patches QtCore4.dll at those array locations to include the install location. Since each array begins with the 12-character string "qt_XXXXpath=", you can patch it with a directory length up to 511 characters before overflowing :). Just make sure to double-backslash the path separator.

Thanks. Now I got the point:-)

Thank you very much, Denis. It's unbelievable what's out there. :D

These pages describe how to sign an app using command line. I used Qt creator's project settings UI to do it. I suppose it's the same as command line..

[quote author="Rigoletto" date="1296715826"]Hi, thanks for the answer, but cant find 2.1, i guess you mean Qt SDK 1.1: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/01/20/qt-sdk-1-1-technology-preview-released/ [/quote] My bad... You are right. I meant the SDK 1.1 (preview) that comes with the Qt Creator 2.1 (Preview)

We're looking into this and will fix it ASAP. Thanks for letting us know.

Yes, I'm thinking that maybe remote compile is again supported in OS X in Qt SDK 1.1 Tech preview. So I'll try either that or ubuntu version. Thanks for help!

If I check the installed apps. Qt installer is listed in it. But If I try to install fluidlauncher.sis it gives the error Qt4.07(1) or newer required

I downloaded an older version from the archives and it compiled with just the configure and mingw32-make commands.

Compiling everything yourself is always a second option - not really convenient, though, but saves you an OS upgrade :-)

which example? Do you have the QtSolution for the service? And installing the service != compiling sources. So you have a compiler problem (or a linker problem). are you buiilding debug? did you add QtSolutions_Service to your sources?

In earlier versions, the MSVS integration was not in Open source editiopns, and perhaps the MSVS configs. But is was never said, that compiler might not be used. Before 4.x (3?), k there was no open source version for windows.... with Qt 4.3, there was a "minGW version for open source for windows":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2007/09/18/qtwindows-open-source-edition-to-support-vs-express/ As stated in that article, since 4.4 it is also open source for windows with MSVS compiler.

If you are trying to rebuild the SDK you might get errors because of the previous build (SDK is already build with MingW) I suggest you download the source (4.7.1) from "here":http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1.zip or older source can be found "here":ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/ And then, after you unzip the archive, you do this (from the VS command prompt navigate to the unzipped Qt folder): configure.exe (with desired parameters) nmake (it will build everyting including examples and demos...) or alternate... nmake sub-src (build the framework) then nmake sub-tools (build the tools: Designer...) install the VS add-in

Yes I saw, I compiled all with QtCreator. I didn't have problem with libraries but with plugins. Now I solved.

Also had the problem, but your solution worked. Thank you! Env: Ubuntu 10.10 / Maverick Meerkat Qt 4.7.1 QtMobility 1.1.0 (final)

[quote author="Mattias Cibien" date="1295642172"] I have built Qt once on msvc2005 and it was almost a mess (but was the old 4.2/3 which had to be patched). Then with 2008 everything went fine :-p. Still too long to build however[/quote] I never had problems with this combination. No error, no patch. Strange. But fortunately I can use the prebuilt binaries nowadays. The most annoying thing was the compile time - no "make -j8" ... it took ages.

You can't "move" the Qt installation dir so easily -- paths are hardcoded into the binaries, and the SDK installer binary patches them. Instead, give a look to qt.conf.

Are you including QtDBus in your project under windows? DBus isn't supported on windows at this time
