I have a QT project that installs a service to the system, when running make install. The relevant parts of the .pro file are the following:
init.path = /etc/init.d/
init.files = myservicename
updaterc.path = /etc/init.d/
updaterc.extra = chmod 755 $$init.files; \
update-rc.d $$init.files defaults 97 03; \
service $$init.files start
INSTALLS += target ... init updaterc
This installs the service correctly and then starts it.
However, when I run make uninstall, although the installed files are correctly deleted, the service remains installed and running. I would like the service to be stopped and uninstalled when running make uninstall.
The commands for stopping and uninstalling the service are the following:
sudo service myservicename stop
sudo update-rc.d -f myservicename remove
But I cannot figure out how to integrate the above commands in .pro file, so that qmake can understand them and create the relevant rules in the Makefile.
The only documentation I have found on the subject is this: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-advanced-usage.html, but it does not say anything about uninstalling.
try to use .uninstall command.
mytarget2.path = ~/Documents/inst
mytarget2.target = test.txt
mytarget2.commands = @echo "custom command"
mytarget2.uninstall = @echo "uninstall"
INSTALLS += mytarget2
it will generate this makefile:
####### Install
install_mytarget2: first FORCE
@test -d $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/mac/Documents/inst || mkdir -p $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/mac/Documents/inst
@echo custom command
uninstall_mytarget2: FORCE
@echo uninstall
-$(DEL_DIR) $(INSTALL_ROOT)/Users/mac/Documents/inst/
install: install_mytarget2 FORCE
uninstall: uninstall_mytarget2 FORCE
FORCE:
