Qt updates

Qt updates take place only when required for fixing bugs related to Qt. Else, we follow Ubuntu integration of Qt. Current status is available at http://packages.ubuntu.com.

New Qt release should compile and be tested successfully under development environment before switching to a new Qt release.

Note: source and windows must have the same reference Qt version.

Source

• log to server

 cd /build/qt

• download source archive

wget http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz

• change version number in build script

cp build-4.6 build-4.7
vi build-4.7

• compile

nohup ./build-4.7 > build-4.7.log&

• create symlinks src and win32 (because win32 uses cross compilation)
• set reference version in admin/option.factory
• keep changes in mkspecs/win32-x-g++/qmake.conf when installing Qt
  • check differences between win32-g++/qmake.conf
    

    diff -r old/mkspecs/win32-g++/qmake.conf new/mkspecs/win32-g++/qmake.conf

  • cp -r new/mkspecs/win32-g++ new/mkspecs/win32-x-g++
  • cp old/mkspecs/win32-x-g++/qmake.conf new/mkspecs/win32-x-g++
  • edit according to difference between old and new win32-g++/qmake.conf
  • set version number in mkspecs/win32-x-g++/qmake.conf (in QMAKE_INCDIR_QT and QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT)
• run a make clean in devtools

Windows

• download and unpack Qt archive under VirtualBox
• move all from C:\Qt\x.x.x to a Y:\qt
• copy all to compile server:

 scp -r qt/x.x.x geopsy:/build/usr/local/Qt/x.x.x/win32-bin

• copy mingwm10.dll from a previous version into /usr/local/Qt/x.x.x/win32-bin/bin
• set version number in mkspecs/win32-x-g++/qmake.conf (in QMAKE_INCDIR_QT and QMAKE_LIBDIR_QT)
• set reference version in admin/option.factory
• before publishing any release, copy Qt tar.gz files generated during package build in /build/windows/3rdparty/Qt

 scp * xxxx@geopsy.org:/var/www/download/htdocs/archives

• run a make clean for devtools and all other projects

dpfacdo -f dpfacmake -m clean \$PLATFORM \$BRANCH

Mac

• download source archive
• copy it to qt
• change version number in ./build
• run nohup ./build > build.log&
• set reference version in admin/option.factory
• before publishing any release, copy Qt tar.gz files generated during package build in build/3rdparty/Qt

 scp * xxxx@geopsy.org:/var/www/download/htdocs/archives

• run a make clean for devtools and

dpfacdo -f dpfacmake -m clean \$PLATFORM \$BRANCH
