Enabling MakeFiles Through .pro files of Qt

[zgulser]

I'm using Qt 4.8 and VS2010 by the way.

Moreover, I did type the following entry into my pro file;

QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS += /MANIFESTUAC:NO\"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'\"

QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS += /MANIFESTUAC:NO\"level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false'\"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and I can build and create a setup but this time my setup doesn2t working and giving me "side-by-side configuration" error and application fails to start.

You add a Windows manifest to an executable using:

• the Windows resources, or
• the Microsoft mt.exe tool to add the manifest afterward

Only the first option is portable to another compiler/tool set.

// pro file
RC_FILE = coolapp.rc
 
// rc file
#include <windows.h>
CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID  RT_MANIFEST  "coolapp.exe.manifest"
... etc
