Installing CMake static target with QML module

Kritz

Hi everyone,

I have a static library target with a QML module that works fine in its own project and installs as well. But another project uses the installed library gives an error saying:

Objects of target "QTTest::GuiA_resources_1" referenced but is not one
  of the allowed target types (EXECUTABLE, STATIC, SHARED, MODULE, OBJECT).

I used the code below to create the qml module and install the target.

qt_add_qml_module(GuiA
    URI qttest
    OUTPUT_DIRECTORY qtbin/qttest
    OUTPUT_TARGETS _qt_output_targets
    QML_FILES
        qml/Ascreen.qml
)
# Value of the _qt_output_targets = GuiA_resources_1;GuiA_resources_2;GuiA_resources_3;GuiAplugin_init
install(
    TARGETS GuiA ${_qt_output_targets}
    EXPORT GuiATargets
)

What am I doint wrong here?

Found the solution. Had to give destination for object files and add generated GuiAplugin target to installed targets. Final install code lokes like this:

install(
    TARGETS GuiA GuiAplugin ${_qt_output_targets}
    EXPORT GuiATargets
    FILE_SET HEADERS DESTINATION include
    RUNTIME DESTINATION $<IF:$<CONFIG:Debug>,debug/bin,bin>
    LIBRARY DESTINATION $<IF:$<CONFIG:Debug>,debug/lib,lib>
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION $<IF:$<CONFIG:Debug>,debug/lib,lib>
    OBJECTS DESTINATION $<IF:$<CONFIG:Debug>,debug/obj,obj>
)
