Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download qbs --internalize --version=2.1.2 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade qbs -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.1.2'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade qbs -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.1.2'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}

qbs 1.17.0
General
- The lookup order in PathProbe changed to [environmentPaths,
searchPaths, platformEnvironmentPaths, platformSearchPaths]. - The pathPrefix and platformPaths properties have been removed from the
PathProbe item. They were deprecated since Qbs 1.13. - The protocBinary property in the protobuf module has been renamed to
compilerPath. - A new module capnp for Cap'n Proto in C++ applications has been added.
Cap'n Proto is a serialization protocol similar to protobuf. - The qbs-setup-android tool got a --system flag to install profiles
system-wide similar to qbs-setup-qt and qbs-setup-toolchains.
Language
- The product and project variables are now available on the
right-hand-side of moduleProvider expressions and the default scope is
product (QBS-1587).
C/C++ Support
- Lots of improvements have been made on toolchain support for
bare-metal devices in general. Bare-metal targets can be selected by
setting qbs.targetPlatform to 'none'. - KEIL: The ARMCLANG, C166 and C251 toolchains are now supported.
- IAR: National's CR16, Microchip's AVR32, NXP's M68K, Renesas'
M8/16C/M32C/R32C/SuperH targets and RISC-V targets are now supported. - GCC: National's CR16, NXP M68K, Renesas M32C/M32R/SuperH/V850 as well
as RISC-V and Xtensa targets are now supported. - MSVC: Module definition files can now be used to provide the linker
with information about exports and attributes (QBS-571). - MSVC: "/external:I" is now used to set system include paths (QBS-1573).
- MSVC: cpp.generateCompilerListingFiles is now supported to generate
assembler listings. - Xcode: macOS framework paths on the command line are now automatically
deduplicated (QBS-1552). - Xcode: Support for Xcode 12.0 has been added (QBS-1582).
Qt Support
- The Qt for Android modules have been cleaned up. Support for ARMv5, MIPS and
MIPS64 targets has been removed (QBS-1496). - Initial support for Qt6 has been added.
Android Support
- A packageType property has been added to the Android.sdk module which
allows to create Android App bundles (aab) instead of apk packages
only. - A aaptName property has been added to the Android.sdk module which
allows to use aapt2 (QBS-1562) since aapt has been deprecated.
Documentation
- New bare-metal examples have been added and existing examples have
been ported to more toolchains. - A new how-to about cpp.rPaths has been added (QBS-1204).
- Various minor improvements have been made.
Important Bug Fixes
- Building Qt for Android applications as static libraries has been
fixed (QBS-1545). - Trailing slashes are no longer removed from Visual Studio environment
variables (QBS-1551). - The MSVC cpp module did not use the cpp.distributionIncludePaths
property (QBS-1572). - The visual studio generator has been fixed to work with Visual Studio
16.6 (QBS-1569). - Fixed extraction of build information from CONFIG and QT_CONFIG
variables in Qt installations (QBS-1387). - The version number is no longer appended to .so files on Android

qbs 1.16.0
General
- A new freedesktop module helps UNIX application developers to follow the
freedesktop.org guidelines. - The Android module now allows resourcesDir, sourcesDir and assetsDir to be
specified as relative paths. - A new ConanfileProbe allows better and more flexible integration of Qbs and
the Conan package manager. - A new hostArchitecture property has been added to the qbs module.
Language
- List properties in modules are now merged according to inter-module
dependencies. This is important when flags like cpp.staticLibraries are
contributed by multiple modules with dependencies between each other.
(QBS-1517). - Dependency matching of multiplexed products is now less strict and does not
require all multiplex properties to match. For instance, if product A is
multiplexed over qbs.architecture and qbs.buildVariant while product B is only
multiplexed over one of these axes, then Qbs no longer fails (QBS-1515).
C/C++ Support
- The Renesas RL78 architecture is now supported in GCC and IAR and the
toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains. - The Renesas RX as well as the RH850, V850, 78K are now supported in IAR and
the toolchains are auto-detected by qbs-setup-toolchains. - The MPLAB X32 GCC-based toolchain is now auto-detected on Windows.
- Multiple occurrences of static libraries on the linker command line are now
pruned and the last instance always wins when using GCC or LLVM-based
toolchains. This avoids problems with excessively long linker command lines
(QBS-1273). - Clang-cl and MSVC toolchains use the compiler frontend instead of the linker
when linking. The old behavior can be restored by setting cpp.linkerMode to
"manual". This allows to use sanitizers with clang-cl by passing
"-fsanitise=xxx" via cpp.driverFlags (QBS-1522). - The clang-cl toolchain now uses "link.exe" as the default linker.
"lld-link.exe" can be explicitly selected by setting cpp.linkerVariant to
"lld" (QBS-1522). - The MSVC, clang-cl and MinGW toolchains are now automatically detected if the
profile does not set an explicit installation location, for instance because
no profile was given. - Installation of separate debug information can now be enabled and configured
by simply setting the installDebugInformation and debugInformationInstallDir
properties in the Application and Library convenience items. This works for
toolchains based upon GCC, MSVC or clang-cl. - Xcode version 11.4 is now supported on macOS.
Qt Support
- Qbs now supports Qt 5.14 for Android which comes as a multi-architecture
package. The qbs-setup-android tool has been updated accordingly (QBS-1497). - JSON metatype files generated by moc (Qt >= 5.15) are supported by setting
Qt.core.generateMetaTypesFile and Qt.core.metaTypesInstallDir (QBS-1531). - Pure debug builds of Qt (>= 5.14) with MinGW are now properly supported. They
don't have the 'd' suffix (QTBUG-80792). - The QML type declaration mechanism introduced in Qt 5.15 is now supported by
the Qt.qml module (QBS-1531). - Generated qmltypes files are now named according to the product's targetName
property (QTBUG-82710).
Documentation
- The how-to chapter has been extended with sections about debugging Qbs files
and about building separate debug information in C++ projects. - The item and module reference documentation has been improved for the
cpp.libraryPaths, cpp.dynamicLibraries (QBS-1516), qbs.toolchainType and
qbs.toolchain properties as well as the Export item and the Library
convenience item. - Documentation for various path probes has been added (QBS-1187).
- The README was extended and a CONTRIBUTING file has been added which provides
useful information for potential contributors. This is important for people
looking at our github mirror.
Infrastructure
- The Debian Docker image has been removed.
- We are now using ccache and clcache in our CI pipelines to shrink the build
time. - Clang-tidy is now used to identify potential problems in the code base and a
lot of action was taken upon a lot of findings. - A Docker image for testing Qbs with Android and Qt has been added.
Important Bug Fixes
- Fix nullpointer access and heap-use-after-free error (QBS-1485).
- Select the right instance when Depends.profiles is used on a dependency with
an aggregator product (QBS-1513). - Fix crash when specifying a non-existing profile in Depends.profiles
(QBS-1514). - Try harder to detect GCC toolchains in qbs-setup-toolchains (QBS-1524).
- Code signing for Core Foundation Bundles on macOS has been fixed.
- Automatic artifact scanning now prefers artifacts from product dependencies if
multiple candidates are found. This improves dependency tracking in complex
projects (QBS-1532). - The grpcIncludePath property in the probufcpp module has been fixed
(QBS-1542). - Qbs does no longer crash when accessing a property of a non-existent module in
"IDE mode".

to allow product multiplexing byqbs.architecture
andqbs.buildVariant
,
respectively. - When rebuilding a project, the environment, project file and property
values are taken from the existing build graph.
Language
Depends
items can now be parameterized to set special module parameters
for one particular product dependency. The new item typeParameter
is used to declare such parameters in a module. The new item type
Parameters
is used to allow products to set default values for
such parameters in theirExport
item.- The functions
loadExtension
andloadFile
have been deprecated and
will be removed in a future version. Use therequire
function instead.
Custom Rules and Commands
- Artifacts corresponding to the

creating target artifacts. - Rules now have a property
requiresInputs
. If it isfalse
, the rule will
be run even if no artifacts are present that match its input tags. - Added a new property
relevantEnvironmentVariables
to theCommand
class.
Use it if the command runs an external tool whose behavior can be
influenced by special environment variables.
C/C++ Support
- Added the
cpp.link
parameter to enable library dependencies to be
excluded from linking. - When pulling in static library products, the new
Depends
parameter
cpp.linkWholeArchive
can now be specified to force all the library's
objects into the target binary. - When pulling in library products, the new
Depends
parameter
cpp.symbolLinkMode
can now be specified to control how the library
is linked into the target binary on Apple platforms: specifically,
whether the library is linked as weak, lazy, reexported, and/or
upward (see theld64
man page for more information). - The property
cpp.useCxxPrecompiledHeader
, as well as the variants for the
other languages, now defaults to true. - The property

now gets mapped to MSVC's/std
option,
if applicable.
Apple
- Added support for building macOS disk images.
Android
- Product multiplexing is no longer done via profiles, but via architecture,
employing the newqbs.architectures
property (see above). As a result,
thesetup-android
command now sets up only one profile, rather than
one for each architecture. - Added support for NDK Unified Headers.
Documentation

qbs 1.6.0
- Added lex_yacc module.
- Introduced property cpp.systemRunPaths.
- Introduced the ability to check a module's version in a Depends item.
- Introduced cpp.driverFlags, which allows specifying flags to be
passed to the compiler driver (in any mode), but never the system linker. - Introduced cpp.linkerMode property to allow selection of the
correct linker (C driver, C++ driver, or system linker) based on the
objects being linked. - Added automatic escaping of arguments passed to the
cpp.linkerFlags and cpp.platformLinkerFlags properties using the -Wl
or -Xlinker syntaxes. To revert to the old behavior,
Project.minimumQbsVersion can be set to a version lower than 1.6. - Each build configuration now requires a unique name, which
is specified on the command line in the same place that qbs.buildVariant
used to be specified. This allows building for multiple configurations
with the same variant.
This package has no dependencies.
