This is the pro file:

qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/rules \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/README \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/manifest.aegis \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/copyright \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/control \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/compat \
qtc_packaging/debian_harmattan/changelog \
script/script.sh

In your .pro file, you need something like this:

Code:

script.path = /opt/<application_name>/script
script.files += script/script.sh

INSTALLS += script

The example assumes that the script folder is a direct subfolder of your main project folder. In the ScriptLauncher, you set the command to "sh /opt/<application_name>/script/script.sh", or you could change the launchScript() method to take a QString argument, and you would then be able to launch different scripts from QML (there is also the option of subclassing QProcess and exposing its methods/properties to QML, which would ultimately be more flexible).
