[Solved] (patching QtService) QtService dependencies

[mrdebug]

My service need to be started after another service. How can I set a dependency?

setServiceDescription("DomusBoss X, DomusBoss resources management");
QtServiceBase::setStartupType(QtServiceController::AutoStartup);

Hi,

It's not something Qt does for you. You'll have to setup your OS properly to handle that.

Sorry but I think not.
In the other languages, Delphi for example, in the program source code, where I set up the service name, I can set the dependencies.
I think qt base should implement this feature.

Sorry, I misunderstood your enquiry. For Windows, CreateService is used for that. You have to modify QtServices to add that dependency part.

[mrdebug]

Just done.
Now I'm sending the patch to the maintainer. I hope he will implement it in the official package.

Through Gerrit ?

[mrdebug]

Sorry? I don't know Gerrit.

[SGaist]

That's the official tool to submit patches to Qt. See the Gerrit introduction article

It was more easy to patch instead of to submit the patch.
