Hi all,
With the Qt5 SDK we are in the phase where we need to decide how the component
install tree should look like both in the installer gui, where user selects the
components he wants to install by checking the checkboxes and then the install
path on users computer. There are many things to take into consideration:
Desktop/Embedded/Src/Tools/Documentation/etc, upcoming Qt5 versions
5.0.0/5.0.1/etc, compilers, submodules, etc. The install tree structure affects
to the SKD templates and install scripts, and it's a lot of work to refactor
them once they are done, so it would be nice to have the final (or as close to
it as possible) install tree structure decided before we start doing the
templates.
There are couple of proposals, any comments on these?
1. Install tree in installer gui, where components are selected to be
installed:
<src>
<qt>
<version>
<essentials>
<>
<>
<add-ons>
<>
<>
<desktop binaries>
<qt>
<version>
// <compiler> ??
<essentials>
<>
<>
<add-ons>
<>
<>
<tools>
<creator>
<documentation>
<qt>
<creator>
The beta1 installer had only the following:
<qt version>
<src>
<desktop>
<compiler>
2. And the other thing is the installation path on users computer, beta1
installer has a long install paths, for example on windows:
c:\Qt5.0.0beta1\Desktop\Qt\5.0.0-beta1\msvc2010_64 [examples\qtbase\....]. That
could be changed to for example:
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0-Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0-Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0-MinGW
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1-Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1-Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1-MinGW
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2-Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2-Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2-MinGW
or:
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0\Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0\Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.0\MinGW
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1\Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1\Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.1\MinGW
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2\Msvc64
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2\Msvc32
c:\Qt5SDK\Desktop\5.0.2\MinGW
And then there is Qt5SDK\Documentation, Qt5SDK\Tools, Qt5SDK\Src and what
else..?
Br,
