How to set linux permissions to installed files with QMake

Twinky

Hello,

Here is a guide to set permissions for installed files on linux.

According to this post: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/13687-How-to-set-permission-of-installed-files-via-qmake there is a QMake variable called QMAKE_INSTALL_FILE but this is not documented in the variables reference link above.

Thus I modified my .pro file to the following:
@unix {
target.path = /opt/my_app_dir
INSTALLS += target

QMAKE_INSTALL_FILE = install -m 6755 -p -o root -g root
QMAKE_INSTALL_PROGRAM = install -m 6755 -p -o root -g root

}@

Where /opt/my_app_dir is the directory in which I wanted to install my file.
I got the "install" options from http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_install.htm

Cheers,
Daniel K.
