Contains some example code for my blog posts.

Code to support the auto-build script post for Qt Projects

The aim here was to create simple auto-deploy script for Qt Creator projects. This is the simplist form of deployment tool and is good enough for many projects.

The files of interest are: For Windows buildWin_minimal_map_final.bat and for linux buildLinux_minimal_map.sh.

These scripts will work as is for many small projects by setting the envoirmental varables correctly and configuring tthe .iss file for use by inno setup the windows installer.

The following envoirmental varables defined in scripts need to be modified to fit the project.

• PROJECTNAME The name of the project, should also be the name of the .pro file, source directory, executable and .iss file for Windows.
• GITHUB_URL The GihHub URL to clone for your project. It shouled be easy to ammend the script for other source control systems.
• BUILD_DIR Where you want the build to go.
• QT_DIR Location of the Qt binaries that you want to compile with. This is the parent directory not the bin directory.
• QT_CREATORDIR Location of the Qt Creator binary you wisth to use.
• MAKE_DIR For linux the location of the directory the version of make you want to use is located.
• LINUXDEPLOY For linux the location where you have installed linuxdeploy.
• SRCDIR Location of the source directory.

Further modification might be needed for more complicated projects. See simpletextviere for ideas of how to handle that.
