Example using QtAutoUpdate w/ CMake

How to:

  • Using Qt 5.6.2 / QtAutoUpdater 1.1.0
  • Download .lib files here: https://github.com/Skycoder42/QtAutoUpdater/releases/tag/1.1.0, find QtAutoUpdater.lib & QtAutoUpdaterController.lib (in my case QtAutoUpdater_precompiled\QtAutoUpdater\msvc64\release) and copy them into the root of this directory.
  • If building for another OS use libraries created for their particular runtime and update target_linked_libraries in CMakeLists.txt, being sure to copy the correct files for debug/release

Example build MSVC64, release

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..
msbuild qtautoupdater-cmake.sln /p:Configuration=release

main.cpp (the code invoking the library)

some API changes have been made to the "example" code I used in main.cpp, as such the example is modified from what is shown on QtAutoUpdate readme README:

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QtCore/QDebug>
#include <QtCore/QStandardPaths>
#include <updater.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

	QString homePath = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::HomeLocation);
	QtAutoUpdater::Updater *updater = new QtAutoUpdater::Updater(homePath + "/QtAutoUpdaterTestInstaller/maintenancetool",
																 nullptr);
	updater->runUpdaterOnExit();

	QObject::connect(updater, &QtAutoUpdater::Updater::checkUpdatesDone, [updater](bool a, bool b){
	
		qDebug() << "Has updates:" << a
				 << "\nHas errors:" << b
				 // change errorLog() to getErrorLog()
				 << "\nError string:" << updater->getErrorLog();
		qDebug() << updater->updateInfo();
		qApp->quit();
	});

	updater->checkForUpdates();
	return a.exec();
}

To do:

  • Would like to create a FindQtQutoUpdater.txt (for CMake to find and install libraries)
  • Create CMakeText.txt to build and install various QtAutoUpdate libraries (from source) for different version of Qt and operating systems (I am a CMake novice so all I could do was link to pre-compiled binaries ;)
