How to deploy C++ Application
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
In this article i describe deploy processes of c++/qt application with cqtdeployer.

2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
## Recommendation
If you want maximum stability of your distribution and you want to run your application on different Distributions with a different versions then you need to use Qt from official [build ](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source?hsCtaTracking=9f6a2170-a938-42df-a8e2-a9f0b1d6cdce%7C6cb0de4f-9bb5-4778-ab02-bfb62735f3e5 ).
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
## Case
In this case we deploy Qt GUI Application for Ubuntu 16.04,Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 ++.
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
**If you want support all distributions begin from Ubuntu 16.04 you need build and deploy you application on the older distribution (in my case it is 16.04)**

2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
## Install CQtDeployer
If you want use system qt from your OS then install [classic ](https://github.com/QuasarApp/CQtDeployer/releases/download/1.4.7/LinuxInstaller.run ) version of the cqtdeployer.
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
```bash
wget https://github.com/QuasarApp/CQtDeployer/releases/download/1.4.7/LinuxInstaller.run
```
```
chmod +x LinuxInstaller.run
./LinuxInstaller.run
```
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
Select latest stable version (1.4)
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
Done.
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
If You use official qt build then you can use snap version of the cqtdeployer.
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
```
sudo snap install cqtdeployer
```
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
After install add requirement permissions.
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
```
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
sudo snap connect cqtdeployer:process-control
sudo snap connect cqtdeployer:removable-media
sudo snap connect cqtdeployer:system-backup
```
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
Done!!!

2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
If you use extra libraries, just add path for cqtdeployer to used libs.
2021-06-10 12:23:49 +03:00
2021-05-25 10:58:33 +03:00
```bash

cqtdeployer -bin myexecutable -libDir /PathToMyExtraLibs
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
```
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
If you want find libraries recursively from libDir path, just add recursive Depth option.
2021-06-10 12:23:49 +03:00
2021-05-25 10:58:33 +03:00
```bash
2021-06-09 11:29:46 +03:00
cqtdeployer -bin myexecutable -libDir /PathToMyExtraLibs -recursiveDepth 5
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00
```
2020-11-19 10:14:43 +03:00
2020-11-24 13:34:58 +03:00

## Find our resulting executable file
If you built the project using qtCreator, your executable file will be found one level higher in the **build-animations-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_GCC_64bit-Release** folder. In my case, the executable file is located in the root directory of the project.

Done. The distribution has been saved to the **DistributionKit** folder
2021-02-22 12:41:07 +03:00
```bash
2021-06-09 11:29:46 +03:00
andrei@X570 -GAMING-X:~/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.15.2/quick/animation$ ./DistributionKit/Installeranimation.run
2021-02-22 12:41:07 +03:00
```
After installation, all the necessary shortcuts will be created.
## Integration with QtCreator
Unfortunately, there is currently no integration with qtcreator.
The only way is to enable build target for ** qmake ** or ** cmake **
### qmake
```qmake
QT_DIR= $$[QT_HOST_BINS]
win32:QMAKE_BIN= $$QT_DIR/qmake.exe
contains(QMAKE_HOST.os, Linux):{
QMAKE_BIN= $$QT_DIR/qmake
}
deploy.commands= cqtdeployer -bin $$DESTDIR/$$TARGET -qmake $$QMAKE_BIN -libDir $$PWD -qmlDir $$PWD -recursiveDepth 5 qif
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += deploy
```
### cmake
2021-06-10 12:23:49 +03:00
2021-02-22 12:41:07 +03:00
```cmake
find_program(Q_MAKE_EXE qmake)
find_program(CQT_EXE cqtdeployer)
IF(NOT EXISTS ${CQT_EXE})
message("the cqtdeployer not exits please install the cqtdeployer and run cmake again!")
return()
endif(NOT EXISTS ${CQT_EXE})
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(
deploy
COMMAND cqtdeployer clear -bin ${CURENT_PROJECT} -qmake ${Q_MAKE_EXE} -libDir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} -qmlDir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} -recursiveDepth 5
COMMENT "Deploy: cqtdeployer clear -bin ${CURENT_PROJECT} -qmake ${Q_MAKE_EXE} -libDir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} -qmlDir ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR} -recursiveDepth 5"
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}
)
```

The **libDir** parameter is used to set the paths to the directory paths contain dependencies of your application, and the **qmlDir** parameter is used to set the directory paths contain the qml files required by your application. In this example, the application source code root is selected by these two options.
2021-03-01 15:38:29 +03:00
The **recursiveDepth** parameter is used to set the search depth of **libDir** and **qmlDir** .
The **qif** parameter is used to create a installer using Qt Installer Framework.

2. Open the project control panel
2021-02-22 18:57:06 +03:00
3. Choose a release build
2021-02-22 12:41:07 +03:00
3. Add "Custom build step"
4. In the "Make arguments" field, add our "deploy" deployment step
5. Save
2021-02-22 18:57:11 +03:00
6. Start the building
2021-02-22 12:41:07 +03:00
2021-02-22 13:19:09 +03:00
#### As a result, you will receive a DistributionKit folder with the installer of your application.
