• Imported, qmake'd and compiled atools and littlenavmap inside Qt Creator

  • Set atools as build dependency of littlenavmap
  • Changed default build folder names to the predefined ones:
    • atools
      • build-atools-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Debug -> build-atools-debug
      • build-atools-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Release-> build-atools-release
    • littlenavmap
      • build-littlenavmap-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Debug -> build-littlenavmap-debug
      • build-littlenavmap-MinGWXX.XX-Desktop-XX-something-Release-> build-littlenavmap-release

• Adjusted and ran: /build/win/build_release.cmd for the deployment version
