15 configure provides the -signature option. You need to specify the
16 location of the .pfx file and qmake adds the signing step to the
19 If you need to select a separate signature for a specific project,
20 or you only want to sign this single project, you can use the
21 "SIGNATURE_FILE = foo.pfx" rule inside the project file.
23 The above decribed rules apply for command line makefiles as well as

26 Microsoft usually ships development signatures inside the SDK packages.
27 You can find them in the Tools subdirectory of the SDK root folder.
31 1. calling configure with signing enabled:
32 configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2005 -xplatform wincewm50pocket-msvc2005
33 -signature C:\some\path\SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.pfx
35 2. using pro file to specify signature
41 SIGNATURE_FILE = somepath\customSignature.pfx
