Creating a windows installer:

1 Update Version Info

Update the version numbers in

• \packages\com.opl.openPilotLog\meta\package.xml
• \config\config.xml

2 Collect dependencies

• Use windeployqt to bundle the dependencies into a deployment directory

.\windeployqt.exe --dir \path\to\deploy-dir\ \path\to\openPilotLog.exe

3 Add openSSL binaries

• These libraries are required for connectivity and cannot be bundled by windeployqt, so copy them into the deployment directory

libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll

libssl-1_1-x64.dll

4 Zip the deployment directory

• create a 7zip archive of the deployment directory and put it in \packages\com.opl.openPilotLog\data

5 create installer with Qt Installer Framework

• Use the Qt Installer Framework binary creator to create an installer

.\binarycreator.exe -c \path\to\config.xml -p \path\to\directory\packages \path\to\output_file.exe
