How to set application information

I am developing an app using the Qt Nokia SDK. I have googled and searched forums, but I can't seem to find anything about how to set application version.

I'm wrapping the sis file using the Nokia smart installer, so I would also like the information to pop up when I'm using the smart installer.

I guess I have to edit the .pro file, but I don't know what to insert to be able to set the application version, application name, etc.

Solution

  • By default a display name for your application is derived from the TARGET variable value in your .pro file. This display name is used e.g. in menu grid and SIS installation package. To change it, use the DEPLOYMENT.display_name .pro file variable:

    DEPLOYMENT.display_name = My Great Qt App

    If memory serves me well, the installataion package version number is derived from the VERSION variable:

     VERSION = 1.2.3
