Change manifest file
-
Hi,
I need to change the manifest file of my app, how can i achieve it?
My Qt version is Qt 5.1.1
-
either way you can edit it directly in QtCreator IDE or via QtCreators GUI in the project settings.
-
I have added:
@win32 {
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
QMAKE_LFLAGS += " /MANIFESTUAC:level='requireAdministrator''"
}
@
to the .pro file, and it work fine, but i need also uiAccess set to "true", so i updated it to:
@win32 {
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
QMAKE_LFLAGS += " /MANIFESTUAC:level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='true'"
}@But there is an error:
bq. :-1: error:LNK1181: cannot open input file 'uiAccess='true'.obj' -
oh you are talking about that manifest.
You were talking about "app" and "manifest file" so i assumed you are talking about the android manifest.Either you can do it via the command line:
@
win32 {
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTUAC:"level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='true'"
}
@
or create an "external" "manifest file":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fft52235 and link this to your application:
@
QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"<path-to-file>"
@ -
I tried the:
@ win32 {
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTUAC:"level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='true'"
}
@and there is the same error:
error:LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘uiAccess=‘true’.obj’
its not interpreting the uiAccess argument correct, meaby there is another syntax for this on my version of QtCreator?
@edit Its clearly shouting to the second argument, because when i change level and uiAccess positions the error is:
error:LNK1181: cannot open input file 'level='requireAdministrator'.obj'
@edit 2 the solution is to write arguments without space between them
