QMake customization

[csgib]

Hi,

First sorry for my english (i'm french), but ill try to be clear.

My problem is :

I work on linux and i have developed a program with qt4 and all is working perfectly.
I have customized my qmake to install all the file i need with a make install ....

Problem : install himself in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/share/ but i want change a right on an install folder. Imagine :

I install a folder toto in /usr/share/lala/

with make insatll (in root) the target folder will have attribute 775 but me i want 777 .... how can i accomplished this to tell to the make install to keep this attribute.

Thanks

Stéphane

Add the following directive to your .pro file:


linux:QMAKE_INSTALL_PROGRAM = install -m 777 -p


Just be aware you are making a security breach in your system this way.

Thanks but is it possible to make this sort of custo only on one folder and not all the files ...


BIBLIOTHEQUE_DIR.files = Bibliotheque
BIBLIOTHEQUE_DIR.path = /usr/share/2ManDVD
TRANSLATIONS_DIR.files = *.qm
TRANSLATIONS_DIR.path = /usr/share/2ManDVD
ICONS_DIR.files = Interface/mandvdico.png
ICONS_DIR.path = /usr/share/2ManDVD
FAKE_DIR.files = fake.pl
FAKE_DIR.path = /usr/bin

desktop.path = /usr/share/applications
desktop.files = 2ManDVD.desktop

INSTALLS += target FAKE_DIR BIBLIOTHEQUE_DIR TRANSLATIONS_DIR ICONS_DIR desktop

Here all i want is just 777 for BIBLIOTHEQUE_DIR

Thanks

For that you'll need a separate install rule. However think twice if you really want to make some file (or worse, a directory) in a public place world writable. It's a huge security breach. Better make your app suid some user and make that directory owned by that user or group.

Good ... i have make ton of modification to take care of your remarks to be sure to don't have a folder with perms 777 in my /usr/share/

But now i already have a problem...

When i make install all my files have a 644 perms but ...

In /usr/share i have a folder with 700 perms with user root.... all the files in this folder have good perms but the folder himself have limited right...

I just want a 644 or 744 or anything else, but i want access this directory with normal user, without creating a special group , ...

Help welcome, and thanks in advance

If you want to do that then the directory can't be 700 but rather 755.

[csgib]

I'm agree with you but make install create a directory with perms 700 ... and i don't find how change to 755 or 644 automatically without make it manually after make install...

Probably a rule in my pro file but don't find

Thanks

I don't think it's qmake. It's probably "install" that does that (see man install).

[csgib]

Yes but how customize make install from my pro file ?

[wysota]

I have shown you how to customize the command ran when a program is getting installed. Now you need to find the proper command. This is definitely out of scope of this forum.
