Projects were modified using the tool at:
https://git.qt.io/alcroito/cmake_refactor
A few examples had to be adapted manually, mostly those that build
additional qml modules / plugins.
The INSTALL_EXAMPLESDIR and INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR assignments were
removed, these are not needed anymore because example directory
selection is handled by the qt_internal_add_example calls.
The install(TARGETS) calls were modified according to our
documentation snippets for qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script.
A qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script call was added for each
executable target.
Note that the deployment step will be skipped in the CI for now,
because:
- we enable QT_DEPLOY_MINIMAL_EXAMPLES in the CI instructions and thus
set QT_INTERNAL_SKIP_DEPLOYMENT to true
- standalone examples feature is not yet enabled in the CI, which
means we continue to build examples in-tree, and deployment is
disabled for in-tree prefix builds.
A small list of examples to deploy in the CI will be chosen in the
future, to ensure deployment coverage, without slowing down overall CI
times due to all the *deployqt invocations.
Even if deployment is disabled in the CI, the install(TARGETS) calls
for each example will still run, installing into an
'installed_examples' directory, which will not be archived by the CI.
The QtBundleQmlModuleForMacOS and bundle_shared code was removed,
because we can now depend on the MACOS_BUNDLE_POST_BUILD option of the
deployment api, to ensure macOS bundle examples run properly in the
build dir. This works even in prefix in-tree builds, when installation
deployment is disabled.
Finally, for all examples that build additional qml module libraries or
plugins, the libraries / plugins must be installed into the bin dir of
each project, along with a qmldir file.
This is to support running the installed project for platforms that
don't have deployment api yet, like boot2qt / yocto.
If we want to have super clean install / deployment rules in the
future, we won't be able to avoid adding ugly per-platform conditions.
The current status quo is deemed an improvement over what we had
before.
