[QBS] RFC: Deployment support for qbs

[Mathieu Bouchard]

Yes, something like QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS. I am calling system(git describe
--tags) and I get the output and pass it to makensis in a custom target:

SCM_VERSION = $$system(git describe --tags)
!isEmpty(QMAKE_SH) {
    # qmake in a unix shell requires escaping on the parenthesis
    VI_VERSION = $$system(python -c
'print\\(\\"$${SCM_VERSION}\\".split\\(\\"-\\"\\)[0]\\)')
} else {
    VI_VERSION = $$system(python -c
'print(\\"$${SCM_VERSION}\\".split(\\"-\\")[0])')
}

win32 {
    createinstaller.target = installer
    createinstaller.commands = $${QMAKE_COPY} \"$${TARGET_FILENAME}\"
\"$${DESTDIR_WIN}\" &&
    createinstaller.commands += cd \"$$PWD/win32\" && makensis
-DVIVERSION=$${VI_VERSION} -DVERSION=$${SCM_VERSION} installer.nsi
    createinstaller.depends = first
    QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += createinstaller
}

How do we tell qbs to only make one of those?
