[Qt-qml] QML viewer distributable

[henrik.hartz at nokia.com]

On the other hand, if this the usecase is limited WRT screen real-estate, tell 'someone' to get an N900, setup extras-devel install qt4-experimental-declarative-qmlviewer :)

On Mac - you can use the macdeployqt script to package a .dmg of qmlviewer and add the QML file there - alternatively write a term script that opens that qmlviewer with a specific .qml file

Hope this helps,

Henrik

It's easiest just to install them once globally on the target system (just placing the dlls into the bin folder would require some Manifest patching IIRC, so that they're 'found' by the plugin dlls. But my memory might betray me here ...).

Also, I personally think we should avoid the notion that qmlviewer is meant for deployment. We instead will extend QtCreator such that creating you can create your own C++ application wrapper / main.cpp easily, and then you'd ship this app instead of the qmlviewer executable.
