app bundle name w/parentheses
Hi all,
I successfully build and deploy an app bundle on OS X with a name all letters and possibly spaces.
Now if I try to include parentheses in the app name like
the build fails with
Quote:
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `test -d ../../bin/x(y)z.app/Contents || mkdir -p ../../bin/x(y)z.app/Contents'
make[2]: *** [../../bin/x(y)z.app/Contents/PkgInfo] Error 2

Ok, mkdir in bash needs parentheses escaped or quoted, too. I tried these:
Code:
TARGET = x\(y\)z #same
TARGET = "x(y)z" #same
TARGET = "x\(y\)z" #same
TARGET = "x\\\(y\\\)z" #almost same: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `test -d ../../bin/x/(y/)z.app/Contents || mkdir -p ../../bin/x/(y/)z.app/Contents'
TARGET = $$quote(x(y)z) #builds, Frameworks/ and PlugIns/ missing inside bundle, *but* MacOS/x(y)z is there!
TARGET = $$shell_quote(x(y)z) #same
TARGET = $$system_quote(x(y)z) #same
If I build the bundle to a TARGET without parentheses, then rename the executable afterwards by hand, the app runs just as well as before.
Any ideas how to automate this with qmake?
Re: app bundle name w/parentheses
Hey,
Try the following:
Code:
TARGET = $$re_escape(x(y)z)
re_espace is one of QMAKE's replace functions (http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmake...reference.html)
Hope this helps.
