Deploying or installing Qt Assistant

[Perdrix]

If I am to use Qt Assistant for help, the user has to have Assistant installed.

How should I go about either

• adding the executable or .app file to my deployment image, or

• install Assistant by other means as a pre-requisite.

A Visual Studio/Qt VS Tools build doesn't appear to offer this as an option, and I can't see how I should add it if I'm using CMake to build the Linux and macOS versions?

Thanks

Hi,

I think this example should be of interest.

Maybe I'm getting stupid (or blind) in my old age, but I can't see where this tells me how to add the actual Qt Assistant executable to the stuff that I'm going to ship.

I thought I saw it.

You have to copy it your application bundle.
The example shows how to invoke it from there.

You mean manually copy assistant .exe from the Qt install dir to the application build directory and then qt deploy - surely there must be a more formal method than that
