Qt SDK 1.2.1 on flash drive


Would anyone know how one may go about installing Qt SDK 1.2.1 package on a flash drive for plug and play anywhere? If I wanted to do it for Windows would I simply install it from the installer package? Is this even possible?

Update:

Answered below for three OS's.


Solution

  • Windows

    You may install Qt SDK 1.2.1 to run on the assigned drive letter of the flash USB at the time of installation.

    However, to answer the question there is no way to set the Qt Creator settings to dynamically change drive destination resources for plug and play. If you wish to load Qt Creator on a foreign system the USB drive must be assigned the drive letter assigned at its installation.

    Unix / Linux

    UNIX and Linux systems reportedly have methods of achieving dynamic drive path assignments for USB applications.

    Mac

    Unknown. Stay tuned or supply a answer please.

    I do remember reading the macs had their own mini OS just for applications to run solely on flash drives. I want to confirm before I say for sure.
