The source is located on Google project. It's a .net project.
You need to download and install Mercurial. Mercurial is a distributed revision control tool.
Your formatting is wonky, but you answered your own question. To check out a project that's in Mercurial, you type
hg clone https://somewhere.googlecode.com/hg/ somewhere
at the command line. This expects that you have Mercurial installed and it is on the executable path.

Now it building successfully, but I need to copy it in destination directory by hand. I want to automate this process, but not so familiar with qmake (prefer cmake instead).
Try to use Custom Targets feature.
This post also can help you.
I want to view Qt reference documentation inside QtAssistant, but the installation of Qt5 did not come with .qch documentation files for Qt libraries.
I have tried to find them on the http://qt-project.org but could not find them anywhere.
How do I get the Qt5 documentation files ?
I am using Ubuntu 12.10, I have installed the new qt-library sdk from the qt-project website.
Open Assistant (5.0.1/gcc/bin/assistant) and then go to Edit -> Preferences menu.
There's a Documentation tab. If the list is empty, add the .qch files found in the 5.0.1/gcc/doc/ directory.
This is how it looks. This is Ubuntu 12.10 as well.
Qt 5.0.1 installed with the qt-linux-opensource-5.0.1-x86-offline.run package (388Mb).
Yes, the official Ubuntu-documentation for Qt5 is very incomplete. You don't have information about nearly any class.
If you want to use the QtCreator/QtAssistant build from Ubuntu you have to acquire the docs yourself. I did and uploaded these on my personal Mega-account. Here are the docs. I installed the Qt framework with the installer from qt-project.org, grabbed the documentation and inserted it into the software-center-version.
I don't use QtAssistant as a stand-alone program but integrated in QtCreator. To add the docs to QtCreator go to Tools>Options>Help>Documentation and click add. Then select all .qch files, click apply and enjoy. Maybe try the way as mentioned above.
After all, you can just download the necessary *.deb file from the store of the Ubuntu packages, and install it on your system. As they wrote here, this package will install the *.qch files in /usr/share/qt5/doc. The pitfall is that you will have to remember that you have done that, since your Ubuntu will not take any records for you.
I want to created a JAR file and I want to run it on a client machine.So, I have a couple of questions:
How can I convert the JAR file to an EXE file?
How can I encrypt the JAR file's contents? The jar file could be extracted with WinRAR and the classes could be decompiled with any Java decompiler.
How can I create an installer? My clients doesn't have any JVM and I don't want to ship JDK or JRE along, because they have big size.
See this link: Java to Exe. It also explains what valid reasons are to do this, and when you should not.
You can't really encrypt binaries as the machine has to understand them. That said, an optimized executable is very difficult to decompile, while plain class files are ease.
If you have an exe there are installers enough.
JSmooth is a application which will wrap your Jar in an exe
it also allows you to check if the correct version of JRE is available on the system you're deploying to
http://jsmooth.sourceforge.net/
As for 1): I guess you can not. There may be tools out there, but you cannot do that with standard tools shipped with JDK, as it would destroy platform independance. (See other answers providing links to such 3rd party tools)
As for 3): Use InnoSetup to create the installer. Include JRE within setup and let InnoSetup install it on the fly.
You can't prevent decompilation. The best you can do is make it harder or more time-consuming to do so. As an answer to your question though, I believe you can use gcj to compile Java into EXEs.
May be Excelsior JET will satisfy your needs.) IMHO very mature product.
1) I have recently tried the program jarToExe and like it.
Some features are:
free basic version or very cheap ($30) for 'enterprise'
ability to have windows task manager list your app's name instead of the default java.exe
extra obfuscation
runtime check that java is installed
2) You can make it harder to reverse engineer using proguard or other obfuscator
3) nsis is a very powerful, free scripting language to create windows installers. Good documentation on the site wiki and support on stack overflow as well.
Launch4j worked for me while some tools hadn't been working. It also have a good guide here.
Hope this help!
We use a 7zip SFX install launcher. This is an open source simple tool. It will package your jar, a version of jre so it's not mandatory for the installing systems to have jre installed and a self extracting version of 7zip. Here is a tutorial which explains how to bundle and GitHub link
The project is not maintained but works perfectly(tested until Java 1.8)
1) To create the exe, you can use Launch4j
2) As I have seen, you cannot encrypt the jar contents. I'm not sure though.
3) To create the installer you can use the exe you just created and use InnoSetup to create the files. You have to embed the jre inside the installer and also any other libraries and extra files that may need in the runtime. When embedding the jre, the setup gets large and if you want to avoid that, you can ask the clients to install java in the machines. That way, you wont need to ship with the jre.
I've got a Qt app that I need installed on a customers computer, which I can't assume has Qt installed on it. I'm on a Mac OSX and the computer I will be installing it on some Unix based system. I will be installing it myself so I don't need a GUI installation wizard or anything like that. Ideally I'd like to end up with a script or makefile, along with a folder of all the sources and necessary libraries, I just don't know where to start. References would be much appreciated, I haven't found anything useful after many google searches.
My question lies somewhere between these two:
Can you create a setup.exe in qt to install your app on a client computer?
Create Linux install for Qt application?
I don't need a full-blown install wizard (question 1), but I also won't have my machine at the installation site to just keep copying libraries until all dependencies are met (question 2). Basically I need to have everything on a CD ready to install when I get there. Thanks in advance.
There are two ways to install a Qt application on a system:
1 - You can compile Qt statically. This will allow you to deploy you app without any qt dependencies.
2 - You need to deploy your app with Qt librairy files you need (like qtcore.dll on Windows)
You will find all explications for each platform in the Qt documentation : http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment.html.
To create installer you can use InstallJammer for Windows and Unix.
For MacOSX you need to create a dmg image. This is very simple. Read the following web page for help : http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-DMG-File-on-a-Mac. By using apple script you can customize dmg (like an Application folder link into the dmg).
My preference for Win32 installer is NSIS.
Hope that helps!
Not sure why you want to avoid the install wizard. It can also help you create Uninstaller, desktop and start menu shortcuts, etc. As mentioned in the posts you refer to, you could use BitRock InstallBuilder (Nokia uses it for Qt Creator)
If you do not want to use a wizard and don't want to compile statically, then you can bundle Qt libraries in the same folder as the app and setup a shell script that sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that directory
What tool do you use to only zip up the source code of an open souce project or choose which files you want to include for packaging? I'm using Visual Studio 2008.
You can use a version control system like Subversion to do this. All the source files relevant to your project are checked in, and you can create a second working copy in another directory, check if it compiles (i.e. if the source is complete), clean it again, and zip it up minus the .svn directories.
In Visual Studio, use an add-on like AnkhSvn to make sure all files that are in your project are added to Subversion.
You can automate the svn update and zip with any kind of scripting language (msbuild, powershell, perl, python, etc...)
But then, you could also publish the Subversion repository url and let others use that instead of a .zip file!
Are you using a continuous integration process such as CruiseControl.NET? If so you can add a build step to zip up the entire working folder after a successful release build is done and any cleanup is performed, then even save it to an FTP somewhere if needed.
If not you could still do this in the build process from inside Visual Studio by editing the project file in the post build events. Both cases could be done using the MSBuild Community Tasks since there's a Zip task along with FTP and some others.
If you do an SVN Export instead of SVN Checkout, assuming you're using SVN, then the .svn folders won't be created so there shouldn't be any cleanup to perform before zipping up the folder since you'll have an exact copy of your trunk folder.
Ok, I have found 2 ways you can do this
