All references in the deploy.bat file are relative, so it should run with Oscar-code installed at any location.
The deploy.bat file is required to build release and install versions of Oscar using QtCreator or with buildall.bat. The buildall.bat compiles , builds Oscar and calls deploy.bat to create release and install version of Oscar.
There are three sections to this documentation.
