View source for Auto-deploying your Qt Application

==== Deploy on Travis for Linux ====

[https://travis-ci.org/ Travis] help you to deploy your application automatically. when you push a commit on github, it runs a virtual machine and execute a script defined by your .travis.yml file. 
Here is a travis example which compile a Qt project, make an AppImage and send it to transfer.sh. You can check a code example here [https://github.com/labsquare/fastQt]


<code lang="yaml">
language: cpp
dist: trusty
compiler: g++
sudo: required

before_install:
  - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt58-trusty -y
  - sudo apt-get update

install:
  - sudo apt-get install qt58base qt58svg qt58charts-no-lgpl qt58xmlpatterns
  - source /opt/qt58/bin/qt58-env.sh


script:
  - /opt/qt58/bin/qmake PREFIX=/usr
  - make
  - # Generate AppImage
  - sudo apt-get -y install checkinstall
  - sudo checkinstall --pkgname=app --pkgversion="1" --pkgrelease="1" --backup=no --fstrans=no --default --deldoc
  - mkdir -p appdir/usr/bin ; cd appdir
  - dpkg -x ../app_1-1_amd64.deb . ; find .
  - mv ./usr/local/bin/* ./usr/bin/ 
  - cp ./usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/YOUR_APP_ICON.png .
  - cp ./usr/share/applications/YOUR_APP.desktop .
  - cd ..
  - wget -c "https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases/download/3/linuxdeployqt-3-x86_64.AppImage"
  - chmod a+x linuxdeployqt*.AppImage
  - unset QTDIR; unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH ; unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  - ./linuxdeployqt*.AppImage ./appdir/usr/bin/* -bundle-non-qt-libs
  - ./linuxdeployqt*.AppImage ./appdir/usr/bin/* -appimage
  - curl --upload-file ./YOUR_APPLICATION*.AppImage https://transfer.sh/YOUR_APPLICATION-git.$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)-x86_64.AppImage
</code>


==== Deploy on AppVeyor for Windows ====
[https://www.appveyor.com/ appveyor] do the same thing than travis, but using Windows virtual machin. 
The following example compile your Qt application on windows and make an innosetup. You can check a code example here [https://github.com/labsquare/fastQt]

<code lang="yaml">
branches:
  only:
    - master

install:
  - set QTDIR=C:\Qt\5.8\mingw53_32
  - choco install -y InnoSetup
  - set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin;%PATH%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\Inno Setup 5"
build_script:
  - qmake FastQt.pro
  - mingw32-make
after_build:
  - windeployqt release/fastqt.exe
  - cmd: cp LICENSE release/LICENSE.txt"
  - iscc innosetup.iss
  - rm release/*.o
  - rm release/*.cpp

artifacts:
  - path: Output\YOUR-APP-*.exe
  - path: release
    type: zip
