Build project including all libs

filipdns

Hello, may it possible to setup the pro file to include all lib and files needed during build?

SGaist

Hi,

What do you mean by include all lib and files ?

filipdns

I would like to have next my exe all is need to run it when I copy the folder and past it to an other PC Under windows

SGaist

That's what windeployqt is for.

filipdns

I start to read it, and I think it's not easy to do... I will try

You can add this to your pro file to run it automatically

@VRonin Great thanks it's a begining lol

Could you explain me litle bit more how to use that?

DLLDESTDIR = ../../myproject/bin (... some dir's struct ...)

QMAKE_POST_LINK = windeployqt --compiler-runtime $$DLLDESTDIR

DLLDESTDIR -- full path with file name TARGET (dll and exe).

I don't really see what I have to complete or replace in that..

Sorry I'm litle bit stupid lol

You chose the only answer with negative votes, I was referring to:

isEmpty(TARGET_EXT) {
    win32 {
        TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = .exe
    }
    macx {
        TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = .app
    }
} else {
    TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT = $${TARGET_EXT}
}

win32 {
    DEPLOY_COMMAND = windeployqt
}
macx {
    DEPLOY_COMMAND = macdeployqt
}

CONFIG( debug, debug|release ) {
    # debug
    DEPLOY_TARGET = $$shell_quote($$shell_path($${OUT_PWD}/debug/$${TARGET}$${TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT}))
} else {
    # release
    DEPLOY_TARGET = $$shell_quote($$shell_path($${OUT_PWD}/release/$${TARGET}$${TARGET_CUSTOM_EXT}))
}

#  # Uncomment the following line to help debug the deploy command when running qmake
#  warning($${DEPLOY_COMMAND} $${DEPLOY_TARGET})

# Use += instead of = if you use multiple QMAKE_POST_LINKs
QMAKE_POST_LINK = $${DEPLOY_COMMAND} $${DEPLOY_TARGET}

oups sorry

@VRonin Hello, I try that but now the exe is missing and I can not run the project from qt creator, I got modules missing message (all modules imported in my project) I received message module not installed when I try to run

VRonin

That has nothing to do with the snipped I posted. Could you show us your entire .pro file? Did you rmember to build->re-run qmake?

@VRonin here my original pro file:


TEMPLATE = app

QT += qml quick widgets
CONFIG += c++11

HEADERS += \
radialbar.h

SOURCES += main.cpp\
radialbar.cpp

RESOURCES += qml.qrc \
    ../shared/shared.qrc

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model
QML_IMPORT_PATH =

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules just for Qt Quick Designer
QML_DESIGNER_IMPORT_PATH =

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any feature of Qt which as been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

# You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0


# Default rules for deployment.
qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin
else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin
!isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target

What do you mean with Did you rmember to build->re-run qmake?

Thank very much again for your help!!

You need to rerun qmake each time you change pro file. Go to "Build/Run qmake" menu.

VRonin

Using both widgets and quick modules is a bit unusual
there is no trace of the snipped posted above in this file, where did you put it?

filipdns

@VRonin I don't know, I start my project with QT exemple I didn't change more than the radialbar cpp and h

I'm new on QT I probably made some mistakes ;-)
