QMAKE_POST_LINK doesn't work for Android!

tansgumus

Hello,

I've two issues not single one as mention in post subject.

First issue:
QMAKE_POST_LINK doesn't work for Android as mentioned below while system() works!

Does this issue related to Android with qmake? Or there is something wrong with my code?

.pro

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
        APKPATH = $$shadowed($$PWD)/android-build/build/outputs/apk/android-build-debug.apk
        DISTRO_NAME = $$TARGET-android-$${PREFIX}.apk
        COMMAND = '$$PWD/distro-android/create.sh "$$APKPATH" "$$PWD" "$${DISTRO_NAME}" '
#        Doesn't work!!!
        QMAKE_POST_LINK += $${COMMAND}
#        Works!
#       system($${COMMAND})
    }

    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
        /home/tansu/mysql_driver_qt/libmariadb/libmariadb.so \
        /home/tansu/Qt/5.9.1/android_armv7/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so
}

create.sh

#!/bin/bash

APKPATH=$1
PROJECT=$2
DISTRO_NAME=$3

cp -f $APKPATH $PROJECT/../distro/$DISTRO_NAME

Second issue
In case I used system() instead of QMAKE_POST_LINK I noticed that qmake call the function only in case .pro is not saved!

Does this issue is a bug in QMake? Or I miss something in my code?

Hi,

I can't really comment on that however one thing I would check is what you are getting in your script. You might not be in the folder you think you are when the post link stuff is called.

@SGaist Well, for chekcing my code I added message() in .pro and echo in .sh files

.pro

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
        APKPATH = $$shadowed($$PWD)/android-build/build/outputs/apk/android-build-debug.apk
        DISTRO_NAME = $$TARGET-android-$${PREFIX}.apk
        COMMAND = '$$PWD/distro-android/create.sh "$$APKPATH" "$$PWD" "$${DISTRO_NAME}" '
        message($${COMMAND})
#        Doesn't work!!!
        QMAKE_POST_LINK += $${COMMAND}
#        Works!
#        system($${COMMAND})
    }

    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
        /home/tansu/mysql_driver_qt/libmariadb/libmariadb.so \
        /home/tansu/Qt/5.9.1/android_armv7/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so
}

create.sh

#!/bin/bash

APKPATH=$1
PROJECT=$2
DISTRO_NAME=$3

echo "${PROJECT}/../distro/${DISTRO_NAME}" > ${PROJECT}/../distro/log.txt
cp -f $APKPATH $PROJECT/../distro/$DISTRO_NAME

The output of message() is correct as shown below:

Project MESSAGE: /home/tansu/Projects/Tetris/src-qml/distro-android/create.sh "/home/tansu/Projects/Tetris/build-Tetris-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_9_1_for_Android_armv72-Release/android-build/build/outputs/apk/android-build-debug.apk" "/home/tansu/Projects/Tetris/src-qml" "Tetris-android-2017-08-03_04-43-05.apk"

But I couldn't get log.txt so I get pretty sure QMake doesn't call QMAKE_POST_LINK!

In case I use:
.pro

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
        APKPATH = $$shadowed($$PWD)/android-build/build/outputs/apk/android-build-debug.apk
        DISTRO_NAME = $$TARGET-android-$${PREFIX}.apk
        COMMAND = '$$PWD/distro-android/create.sh "$$APKPATH" "$$PWD" "$${DISTRO_NAME}" '
        message($${COMMAND})
#        Doesn't work!!!
#        QMAKE_POST_LINK += $${COMMAND}
#        Works!
        system($${COMMAND})
    }

    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
        /home/tansu/mysql_driver_qt/libmariadb/libmariadb.so \
        /home/tansu/Qt/5.9.1/android_armv7/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.so
}

Everything goes fine except QMake doesn't call mesage() and system() functions unless .pro modified (not saved) which force me to modify .pro manually whenever I want to create a distro

@SGaist Do you believe I've to attach a full project or a full demo project for clarifying this issue well?

SGaist

Yes, that would be nice.

@SGaist said in QMAKE_POST_LINK doesn't work for Android!:

Yes, that would be nice.

Whenever I try to upload the project I get this error although the zip file doesn't contain on binaries and its size is about 60KB

I uploaded the project on shared host because this forum doesn't work fine with attachments :(

@SGaist Did you receive the project. I couldn't figure out how to fix this issue till now :(

SGaist

Tested with Qt 5.9.2 and it's working as expected. Well, the script bash is called.
