Installing Files
To install your project, specify the necessary information in the project file:
Application {
Group {
name: "Runtime resources"
files: "*.qml"
qbs.install: true
qbs.installDir: "share/myproject"
}
Group {
name: "The App itself"
fileTagsFilter: "application"
qbs.install: true
qbs.installDir: "bin"
}
}
In this example, we want to install a couple of QML files and an executable. The actual installation is then done like this (using the default profile):
qbs --clean-install-root qbs.installRoot:/tmp/myProjectRoot
Here, we want the installDir properties from the project file to be interpreted relative to the directory /tmp/myProjectRoot, and we want that directory to be removed first. If the qbs.installRoot property is not given, a default is used, namely <build root>/install-root.
