No Manifest

[Lele]

Hi all,
is there a way to specify that I don't want to use a manifest for my window app?
Having MANIFESTFILE:NO.
I tried CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe but I'd need to avoid using the manifest.
I checked that doc but I couldn't find.
thanks for any help in advance

bye

What is the reason for avoiding a manifest?

[Lele]

thanks for answering,

well to mkae sure there are no incompatibility
myapp.exe.manifest
and
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest

using embed_manifest_exe, I don't have any change in the use of the Manifest, because cheking the generated project in the linker settings it keeps using
/MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"..\.tmp\myapp\obj_release\\myapp.exe .intermediate.manifest"

If you won't use the manifest generated by Qt for your application, how do you expect the application to work? Get rid of the Microsoft manifest and use the one provided by Qt if you expect incompatibilities.

thanks again,
so you suggest to use embed_manifest_exe option in the pro file?
What I found is that the myapp.exe.intermediate.manifest used (with or without embed_manifest_exe option) has a wrong version...

[Lele]

So, my question is :
is there a way to avoid embedding the intermediate manifest ancd then specify a myapp.manifest as a separate file?
So something in the pro that will make the generated visual studio solution with
/MANIFEST:NO

thanks again

What happens if you compile your project only with qmake and nmake (without using Visual Studio at all)?

[Lele]

I got the manifest embedded the same, I can see with a resource editor and I can manually remove it, but I'd like to do that during the normal compilation.
thanks

What do you mean by "normal compilation"? If you mess with Visual Studio then it has nothing to do with Qt, so doing any changes within qmake project won't make a difference.

[Lele]

No mess, just generate the project from the .pro file and then build.
I'd only need a way to put
/MANIFESTFILE:NO
in the Linking options, and I thought this could be done in the .pro file, probably is a default Visual Studio settings...
Don't know how to change it anyway...

Try adding:

QMAKE_LFLAGS += /MANIFESTFILE:NO

(or QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE) to your .pro file.
