Set remote device configuration in cmake presets for QtCreator

EduardoQtDev

Hi all,

I wonder if it is possible to set the remote device configuration as an object in the

"vendor": {
        "qt.io/QtCreator/1.0": {

cmake presets configuration.
But in general, where is the documentation of the values that can be set using cmake Presets for QtCreator?

Many thanks in advance for your time.

No run or remote device configuration can be set via the "vendor" field of CMake presets.

The documentation is at https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings-cmake-presets.html and https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-creator-14-cmake-update

Feel free to open a suggestion at https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10512 with the desired outcome. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer.

I was thinking of adding a remote device configuration (that is very simple from the Qt Creator Gui) and also the executable to deploy and where to deploy it in the vendor field. But I read now that Qt creator deploys depending on the Cmake install commands.
Then the missing part of adding a device is quite simple so I do not think is necessary to add it to the vendor field.

Congratulations on Qt Creator 14.0. I like the CMake presets detection and that also creates a kit from a configured project by terminal.

But I read now that Qt creator deploys depending on the Cmake install commands. ~~But this is not happening for 14.0.2.~~ It is somehow happening for Qt Creator 15 but I do not see the deploy to remote Linux Host as explained in this page when using the CMake presets kit in v15.0.0.

If I add a deploy step using CMake install with arguments --component app-runtime it seems it tries to install on the host machine. How can I use deploy step Cmake Install but installing in a remote Linux device?
If I use Override deployment data from build system it copies the files to the remote host file system but when use cmake install it does not?

I think the best option is to open a bug report / suggestion at https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10512 and assign it to me. Thank you in advance.
