Demo Qt Quick application for use with linuxdeployqt.
The application icon has been set in main.cpp like this:
QFileInfo fi(app.applicationDirPath() + "/../share/pixmaps/qtquickapp.png");
QGuiApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon(fi.absoluteFilePath()));
Note that absoluteFilePath must be used, otherwise it will not work on Ubuntu Unity.
In order to make it easier for linuxdeployqt to generate an AppImage, icon and desktop files have been added and have been configured in QtQuickApp.pro like this:
unix {
isEmpty(PREFIX) {
PREFIX = /usr
}
target.path = $$PREFIX/bin
shortcutfiles.files = qtquickapp.desktop
shortcutfiles.path = $$PREFIX/share/applications/
data.files += qtquickapp.png
data.path = $$PREFIX/share/pixmaps/
INSTALLS += shortcutfiles
INSTALLS += data
}
INSTALLS += target
DISTFILES += \
qtquickapp.desktop \
qtquickapp.png
Note that the word release was added to the line
CONFIG += c++11 release
in the same file, so that the release configuration gets built.
This allows for the application to be installed with make install, and for linuxdeployqt to generate an AppImage.
See .travis.yml for how to compile the application on Travis CI, generate an AppImage, and upload it to transfer.sh.
If you rather would not like to use Travis CI, you should be able to use the same commands on a local Ubuntu trusty machine.
