Qt

What works

Installer help.

Some tools, like qmake (I have not used them for anything except making CMake satisfied).

What does not

The installer. Installer is completely unworkable. Since the installer is likely built on Qt own Installer Framework, I expect other installers using it to be also broken.

Some tools like windeployqt don't work, because they cannot find c:\Users\qt\work\ . Seems like a default value, which have not been overriden by installer because I have unpacked Qt without using an installer (see in workarounds).

Workarounds

To unpack an installer using Qt Installer Framework there is a dirty solution (we would need a clean one, involving finding all the necessary info in the installer, but it is not implemented yet). Anyway, QIF relies on 7zip toncompress the data.

1. install binwalk
2. install CarvFS
3. scan the binary for signatures

   binwalk -b
   

4. parse the output for offsets
5. compute the sizes by subtracting series of offsets. For the last size use the size of the file.
6. mount the binary using CarvFS
7. create a folder and symlinks to 7z files within the binary (offset+size.carv in CarvFS)
8. unpack the 7z files (which are symlinks)

What was not tested

Anything else.

Additional Comments

To make Linux-native CMake satisfied one needs to create a shell script `qmake` calling `qmake.exe` via Wine. Also some cmake scripts in the unpacked distro need to be patched to point to Linux-native Qt tools (for example the ones installed from packages).

The apps using Qt can be cross-built with CMake + CLang + toolchain file.
