Qt6.1 android and subdirectory shared libs

[Oleg Shalnev]

Good day!

Let me describe the situation I've found with android compilation and deploy.

As usual I have use sub directories for creating shared libs.

1. When you try to create CMakeLists.txt in project root dir and gui as sub dir and add gui dir by "add_subdirectory"
   in core project file, the build will fail with "No target architecture defined in json file."

2. If you try to use gui application dir as a root project dir with lib subdir compilation of shared lib will fail.

QtCreator build normal deployment-settings.json for gui, but whron settings.json for subdir lib

As you can see there is no correct setting info is sub project.

The question is -> Have I possibilities to use complicated modules management with libraries and sub directories.

Platform: Linux Ubuntu 21.04, QtCreator 4.15, Qt 6.1

Thank's a lot for your attention and answers.

I have a similar problem on Windows. Here is a workaround I use.

Consider this 'master' (top) CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory(MyGui)
add_subdirectory(MyLib)

... then the build directory will contain:

build directory (android-MyGui-deployment-settings.json, ...)
|_ MyLib
|_ MyGui (android-MyGui-deployment-settings.json, ...)
|_ ...

There are two android-MyGui-deployment-settings.json files there, one in the root and one in the MyGui folder.
Simple copy the one from MyGui and overwrite the one in the root - and you are ready to debug or run the app!
