Remote Generic Linux device

[ctnguyenvn]

Hello everyone,
When I created a project with CMake on QtCreator and clicked Run, I encountered errors Warning: You need to add an Install Statement to Your CMAKELISTS.txt File for deployment to work. Source code results are not deployed on Remote server

My question?
What configuration do I need to add in cmakelist.txt to do this?

information:
QtCreator Version 4.14
Qt version: 1.75
Remote: Ubuntu 18.04
My OS: Archlinux

@AXZS If you're asking how to extend your CMake script to also install the binaries then start here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/install.html

Since ,I am naive to Qt , this link I couldn't understand fully.
Like

1. "install TARGET mylib"
   so where is this mylib? who created it ? why only this target

2. To deploy simple hello world program on targetboard , how cmakefile.txt to be modified with install statement? what to install? libraries/runtime/object/archive/fileset?

@AXZS This is not a Qt topic, but CMake one.
If you take a look at the whole example:

add_library(mylib STATIC ...)
set_target_properties(mylib PROPERTIES PUBLIC_HEADER mylib.h)
include(GNUInstallDirs)
install(TARGETS mylib
        PUBLIC_HEADER
          DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/myproj
)

You will see what mylib is: it's a target building a static library. So, for each of your targets you want to install you need an install() directive.

Thanks for prompt support.

But I am still not clear where is this target mylib?
I went through this example but could'nt get it.

And do We need all targets to be modified in file? lets say for hello world program.. what are targets for it?

@AXZS said in Remote Generic Linux device:

In the example I posted:

add_library(mylib STATIC ...)

Please read https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_library.html
You should really learn CMake if you want to use it.

"And do We need all targets to be modified in file?" - I don't understand this question. What do you want to modify.
"lets say for hello world program.. what are targets for it?" - the target for your executable: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_executable.html

@jsulm Thankyou very much for said support.
Everyone is learning and discussing over the world parallelely.

Thanks a lot.
