Setting environment variables at Qt Creator by sourcing a shell script

Question

I am trying to configure the "Run Settings" on Qt Creator 3.0.1.

I would like to set the value of many environment variables by sourcing a shell script 'myScript'. However, Deployment's Custom Process Step apparently doesn't accept 'source' as a command.

If I execute the script instead of sourcing it, it sets the environment variables of the shell process in which it is executed, which is not the same where Qt Creator runs the executable.

Is it possible to use 'myScript' to configure the environment variables ? How should I call it?

Ofcorse, You can run qt via scrypt. This is very simply. My script is below. Ofcorse you need environment variables in concret file. In my case this file is environment-setup

#!/bin/bash
echo "ustawienie zmiennej /usr/local/angstrom/arm/environment-setup"
# set concret variables important is . /
. /usr/local/angstrom/arm/environment-setup
echo "Uruchomienie qtCreator"
# lunched qtcreator
$HOME/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

You also can set this script as linked to main icon qt in your start menu. After this, all you need to run qt is only click in your shortcut in menu
