Hi,
The product that I am working on needs an auto updater.
Case 1:
A notification that a newer version of the software is available and if the user approves, it should start downloading the new version (probably in the background), and then install it automatically.
Case 2:
The software should silently download the newer version in the background and then install it after notification.
I am not sure which version to make.
I want to make an auto update library using Qt which can be used by any product that is developed using Qt.
Now the problems:
I have never written a library(.dll,.so or watever). I don't have any idea how it is written, in what cases it is written etc. I am complete newbie to this stuff.
Can someone please help me out ? If someone can refer me some tutorial or some sample code, I would be greatful to them.
Thanks a lot.
