    Default How to change default manifest file?

    When using creator with visual c++ on Windows, a special file (manifest) is being created. This file describes what libraries executable depends on and it gets included directly into executable as the last step of build by mt.exe tool.

    How can I change the way creator generates this file?

    Example of a manifest file is below.
    Qt Code:
    1. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
    2. <assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
    3. <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    4. <security>
    5. <requestedPrivileges>
    6. <requestedExecutionLevel level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false' />
    7. </requestedPrivileges>
    8. </security>
    9. </trustInfo>
    10. <dependency>
    11. <dependentAssembly>
    12. <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*' />
    13. </dependentAssembly>
    14. </dependency>
    15. <dependency>
    16. <dependentAssembly>
    17. <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC90.DebugCRT' version='9.0.21022.8' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />
    18. </dependentAssembly>
    19. </dependency>
    20. </assembly>

    Default Re: How to change default manifest file?

    Creator is not responsible for generating this file. I'm moving the thread to "General Programming".
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
