Modified BiblioteQ Software for integration with the Sherlock Navigation System
Here are the steps required for making all this stuff work.
-
Download and install Qt SDK.
-
Download and install YAZ (for Windows) into C:/Program Files
It is important that you place it there
-
Dont't bother downloading SQLite - it comes with the code.
-
Open Qt Creator.
-
Open Existing Project -> choose biblioteq.win.pro
Don't get confused by the presence of biblioteq.win.pro.user - sometimes they can appear the same, BUT IT IS A LIE!
-
Go to the Projects tab on the Left Side.
-
In Build Steps, if you see (3) "Custom Process Steps", don't change anything. If you don't, delete all the build steps and create 3 new custom commands:
a. Command: mingw32-make.exe Working Directory: [leave this blank] Command arguments: clean
b. Command: qmake.exe Working directory: %{buildDir} Command arguments: -o Makefile biblioteq.win.pro
c. Command: mingw32-make.exe Working directory: [leave this blank] Command arguments: [leave this blank]
This process guarantees that every time you run, Qt Creator will clean, build, and compile the code.
-
Change the option in the "Desktop" window to Run.
-
If Run Configurations says: Launch EXE, don't change anything. Anything else, and you must create a new Run configuration.
-
Create a new run configuration by clicking add->custom executable
a. Executable: [directory where you stored this]\release\BiblioteQ.exe Working directory: [this directory]
Everything should run smoothly. If it doesn't, go ahead - be a cockmuncher - and ask me for help, Pat.
