1 month ago For static builds of Qt the go-to choice for the test project should be Qt Installer Framework For dynamic builds of Qt the go-to choice for the test project should be Qt Creator
Pros:
- They need not be implemented by ourselves
- Official use case by tQtC using Qt
Cons:
- Not all modules are used
- Both QtIFW and Qt Creator supports only desktop platform, i.e., Windows and macOS
Qt Installer Framework version support table:
| Qt Version | QtIFW Version |
|---|---|
| 5.15 | (latest) |
| 6.2 | (latest) |
| 6.5 | (latest) |
| 6.7 | (latest) |
Qt Creator version support table:
| Qt Version | Qt Creator Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5.15 | 8.0.2 (for CMake) 6.0.2 (for qmake) |
Qt Creator 9 dropped building with Qt 5 Qt Creator 7 dropped qmake |
| 6.2 | 13.0.1 | Qt Creator 14 dropped building with Qt 6 before 6.4.3 |
| 6.5 | (latest) | |
| 6.7 | (latest) |
This is needed for (at least) check if the Qt is usable in QtBase. (Install directory should be renamed for testing relocation)
This should be a continuation of #22 , which is only for Windows.
