How to build

This project can only be compiled using Qt5.

Just open the KDUpdater.pro using Qt Creator, then build&run should work.

Examples

how does kdupdaterdemo work

First, Updates.xml and UpdateInstructions.xml will be copied from examples/data/kdupdaterdemo to examples/kdupdaterdemo/updateserver/

Then, generated application kdupdaterdemov2 will be copied to the examples/kdupdaterdemo/updateserver/kdupdaterdemo_{win,unix,mac} directory

Finally, ufcreater is used to convert the kdupdaterdemo_{win, unix, mac} to a .kvz file.

So, when kdupdaterdemo is running, it will get Updates.xml from the updateserver first, then download the .kvz file which contains UpdateInstructions.xml and the new kdupdaterdemo.
