Deploy Qt5 QML application

Question

To test QML deployment I\'ve created a very simple QML application. Here is the code:

main.cpp

#include 

        

Answer 1

You need to deploy the application, for this purpose I use the utility cqtdeployer

This utility itself collects all the necessary dependencies of your application and you do not have to spend your time on it, or you can automate this process.

You can install from github releases (Windows)

or

from snapstore (Linux)

sudo snap install cqtdeployer

You can use as follows:

• Windows:

%cqtdeployer% -bin myApp -qmake path/to/Qt/5.x.x/build/bin/qmake.exe -qmlDir path/to/my/qml/files/dir

• Linux:

cqtdeployer -bin myApp -qmake path/to/Qt/5.x.x/build/bin/qmake -qmlDir path/to/my/qml/files/dir

• path/to/Qt/5.x.x/build/bin/qmake - This is the way qmake is used to build your program.

• path/to/my/qml/files/dir - this is the path directly to your qml file (which you wrote)

And Run application with sh script (Linux) or exe (Windows)

If you'll use the version from snap then make sure that you have all the permissions.

If you need use windows version just install application from installer
