[RESOLVED] INSTALLS add "strip" command to makefile

[t_visualappeal]

My pro file looks like this:

@OTHER_FILES +=
.gitignore
README.md
qt.conf
start.sh

qtconf.files = $${PWD}/qt.conf
qtconf.path = $${OUT_PWD}/

start.files = $${PWD}/start.sh
start.path = $${OUT_PWD}/

INSTALLS += qtconf start
@

and it adds two targets to my makefile:

@install_qtconf: first FORCE
@test -d $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/ || mkdir -p $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/
-$(INSTALL_FILE) /home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/quptime/qt.conf $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/

uninstall_qtconf: FORCE
-$(DEL_FILE) -r $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/qt.conf
-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/

install_start: first FORCE
@test -d $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/ || mkdir -p $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/
-$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) /home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/quptime/start.sh $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/
-strip $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/start.sh

uninstall_start: FORCE
-$(DEL_FILE) -r $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/start.sh
-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/home/tim/Programmieren/quptime/build-quptime-Desktop-Release/@

My problem is the "strip" command at the end of the "install_start" target. "start.sh" is a shell script to start the application but the "strip" commands produces an error because the fileformat is unknown. How can I remove "strip"? When I change the permissions of "start.sh" to be not executable "strip" is not added but the file should be executable.

I could find how to disable to call a strip on an executable file.
But here is a possible workaround

Make start.sh non-executable and add an ".extra" item to your start object.
According "qmake doc on Installing Files":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmake-advanced-usage.html#installing-files
it should execute extra commands on your target.

...
start.files = $${PWD}/start.sh
start.path = $${OUT_PWD}/
unix:start.extra = chmod 755 start.sh
...

Yeah, that should work. Thank you!
