Packaging your application

For each platform, you will create a dedicated script to perform all the tasks required to build a standalone application. Depending on the OS type, the packaged application will be gallery-desktop or gallery-mobile. Because the whole gallery project has to be compiled, it also has to include gallery-core. Therefore, we will create a parent project with gallery-core, gallery-desktop, and gallery-mobile.

For each platform, we will prepare the project to be packaged and create a specific script. All the scripts follow the same workflow:

1. Set the input and output directories
2. Create makefiles with qmake
3. Build the project
4. Regroup only the necessary files in the output directory
5. Package the application with platform-specific tasks
6. Store the packed application in the output directory

These scripts could run on a developer computer or on a continuous-integration...
