Deployment

Windows

We currently support latest Win 10 (installed at 31.07.2019) as I build it manually in a virtual machine.

Install Virtualbox
Get Win10.iso (64-bit) from the official Microsoft homepage
Install Windows, skip activation
Install QtCreator (open-source version) and the Qt Installer Framework 3.0 (included, have to check it)
Build OpenCV and the application in Release mode, see detailed instructions in DEVELOPMENT.md
Copy all the .dll's from the following directories
- C:\opencv-4.5.1\build_64\install\x64\mingw\bin
- C:\Qt\Tools\mingw810_64\bin
To the release directory of the application
Go to the release directory of the application, in my case C:\Users\asa\Documents\github-repos\trdrop\build-trdrop-Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_MinGW_64_bit-Release\release
Execute the following command windeployqt.exe --qmldir C:\Users\asa\Documents\github-repos\trdrop\trdrop .
Now the executable has the correct dlls in the directory to run on a different system!

Installer the QtInstallerFramework
Add the qt installer binaries to the PATH environment variable
- e.g C:\Qt\Tools\QtInstallerFramework\3.0\bin or if you installed seperately C:\Qt\QtIFW-4.0.1\bin
Open QtCreator
- Tools -> Options -> Help -> Documentation -> Add
  - C:\Qt\Tools\QtInstallerFramework\3.0\doc\ifw.qch
Use the installer-template from the template directory
- bump up the version number in the config\config file
- copy the contents of the prepared directory into the packages\org.cirquit.trdrop\data directory
- bump up the version in the installer\packages\org.cirquit.trdrop\meta\package file
Open the Qt 5.15.2 (MinGW 810 64-bit) command line tool and cd into the template directory
- run binarycreator --offline-only -c config/config.xml -p packages TrdropInstaller
