Hi there, On the QtCreator list recently there was a discussion about installing projects which use cmake to device targets:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.creator/8995 The want to transfer files without invoking make install. I think the only reason for that is because it could be a lengthy operation (with cmake I'm not so sure - I think cmake doesn't reinstall something that is not changed). Additionally, my several points that installation may be necessary were not addressed: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.creator/8995/focus=8997 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.creator/8995/focus=9008 The solution they seem to want to require is maintaining the list of files to install in parallel to the install() commands. I was wondering if there was some way that cmake could generate a list of files and destination for them with a built-in make-target? I guess the limitation of that is that install(SOURCE) and install(CODE) can do arbitrary things. I've never used them, but presumably they would use file(COPY) to put files in the installation location using ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} ? That probably makes the built-in make-target to generate a list of files and destinations a non-starter. Am I right in saying that even for remote deployment, cmake will not transfer files which are not changed? And therefore the worry about that from the creator folks is unfounded? And the only solution that actually works for them is installing to a tmp location, given the possible existence of install(SCRIPT) and install(CODE)?
