building limereport for android, without designer

[davidovv]

In project readme there is this line:

6. Added the ability to build only report generator without embedded visual report designer. How do i configure project to exclude report designer

When building for android first error i encounter is qmake complaining about missing QT modules: designer designercomponents-private. I guess those are needed for report designer part. I won't need report designer on android.

Another question is can limereport engine be used without being built as external library, like just include specific .pri file in my project?

1. "CONFIG+=no_formdesigner" "CONFIG+=no_embedded_designer" should do this trick
2. limereport.pri

Fixed. You can check it.

To build the project for android just "CONFIG+=no_formdesigner" "CONFIG+=no_embedded_designer" is not enough from Qt 5.14 (Currently I use Qt 5.15.2) due to Qt cannot find the lib (i.e. -lQtZintd). I think the root cause may be related to Multi ABI support which on the new Qt version which Qt will look for lib under the ABI folder (i.e. armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a) but limereport place lib and output under the "build" folder and the lib generated also suffix with _ARCH (i.e. libQtZintd_armeabi-v7a.so, liblimereportd_armeabi-v7a.so).
