The argument parser requires flags expecting a payload to be passed in
the form -arg=payload. If not, it fails to recognize them and falsely
reports "argument must not start with --". These usability issues
should be gone with these two minor changes.
This helps us avoid pesky libraries which are optional by the main
binary but may be dragged in by some other libraries like
https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/issues/235
Usage: -exclude-libs=libqsqlibase,libqsqlodbc,libqsqlpsql,libqsqltds
Also introduces a hint for users about the single quote parameters this
tool provides, most other CLI tools use double quotes for
non-single-char parameters.
Added posibility for developer to deploy aditional Qt plugins through a
list of plugins directories and plugins, relative path to the Qt plugins
directory
and issue a proper error message if not.
When using linuxdeployqt for example in OBS and packages can not
be installed, it can happen that the desktop file is not existing.
This error message makes debugging easier.
Refactor the project structure to make it build as a "Qt module". It's a first step to get this tool closer to Qt.
The main advantage here is: Simply running:
```
qmake
make
make install
```
will compile and install the tool into your Qt installation, and make it a part of your Qt just like any other tool (qmake, etc.)
This change adds a new command line option `qmake` to the tool which
allows the user to specify the qmake executable to be used. By default,
if that option is omitted, the behavior is unchanged (i.e. the tool first
searches for the `qmake` executable and - if this is not successful -
then for either `qmake-qt5` or `qmake-qt4`. If the new option is used,
no search takes place and instead the executable provided is used as-is.
This implements a part of the functionality as discussed in issue #94.
Using 'qmake -query' to get all information explicitly instead of parsing
the output of 'qmake -v' and deriving binary path, plugin path and QML
path from there.
