The module name is needed, because there is a Supported Platforms section in this Manual, too. Change-Id: I3d77c89a2afc006d6e423d21ee46e7fbfee2058b Reviewed-by: Topi Reiniö <topi.reinio@theqtcompany.com>

\title Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Qt Installer Framework is developed as part of the Qt project. The
|
|
framework itself uses Qt. However, it can be used to install all kind of
|
|
applications, including (but not limited to) applications built with Qt.
|
|
|
|
\section1 Supported Platforms
|
|
|
|
You can use the Qt Installer Framework to create installers for all
|
|
platforms supported by \l[QtDoc]{Supported Platforms}{desktop Qt}.
|
|
|
|
The installers have been tested on the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\li Microsoft Windows XP, and later
|
|
\li Ubuntu Linux 11.10, and later
|
|
\li OS X 10.7, and later
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\section1 Building from Sources
|
|
|
|
The following steps describe how to build the Qt Installer Framework
|
|
yourself. You can skip this if you have downloaded a pre-built version
|
|
of the framework.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Supported Compilers
|
|
|
|
The Qt Installer Framework can be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio
|
|
2013 and newer, GCC 4.7 and newer, and Clang 3.1 and newer.
|
|
|
|
\section2 Configuring Qt
|
|
|
|
If you use a statically built Qt to build the Qt Installer Framework
|
|
you do not have to deliver Qt libraries, which enables you to distribute
|
|
installers as one file.
|
|
|
|
The minimum required Qt version is 5.5.
|
|
|
|
\section3 Configuring Qt for Windows
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use the following options when you configure Qt for
|
|
Windows:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -release -static -static-runtime -target xp -accessibility -no-opengl -no-icu -no-sql-sqlite -no-qml-debug -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtenginio -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtserialport -skip qtquick1 -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtxmlpatterns -skip qt3d
|
|
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section3 Configuring Qt for Linux
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use the following configuration options for Linux:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -release -static -accessibility -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-xcb -qt-pcre -qt-freetype -no-glib -no-cups -no-sql-sqlite -no-qml-debug -no-opengl -no-egl -no-xinput -no-xinput2 -no-sm -no-icu -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtenginio -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtserialport -skip qtquick1 -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtxmlpatterns -skip qt3d
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section3 Configuring Qt for OS X
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you use the following configuration options for OS X:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -release -static -accessibility -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -no-cups -no-sql-sqlite -no-qml-debug -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtenginio -skip qtlocation -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtserialport -skip qtquick1 -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtxmlpatterns -skip qt3d
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 Setting up Qt Installer Framework
|
|
|
|
\list 1
|
|
|
|
\li Clone the Qt Installer Framework source code from
|
|
\l{http://code.qt.io/cgit/installer-framework/installer-framework.git/}
|
|
to get the sources for the tools.
|
|
|
|
\li Build the tools by running the "qmake" from the static Qt, followed by "make" or "nmake".
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
