qt_am_create_installable_package

Synopsis

qt_am_create_installable_package(
    target
    SOURCE_DIR <dir>
    OUTPUT_PACKAGE <package.ampkg>
)

If versionless commands are disabled, use qt6_am_create_installable_package() instead. It supports the same set of arguments as this command.

Description

Adds a custom target that, when executed, uses the appman-packager tool to create a package for the application found in SOURCE_DIR. The result is written to OUTPUT_PACKAGE.

The complete content of the source directory is packaged, which works out of the box for QML-only applications, but needs installation rules to temporary directories for more sophisticated setups (e.g. QML plugins).

The info.yaml manifest from SOURCE_DIR is added as source file to the target.

Examples

Here is a snippet from the applicationmanager/package-installation example, showing how this function is used there:

foreach (PKG_NAME red green)
    qt6_am_create_installable_package(package-installation-create-${PKG_NAME}-ampkg
        SOURCE_DIR     ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/installable-apps/hello-world.${PKG_NAME}/
        OUTPUT_PACKAGE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/ps-data/upload/hello-${PKG_NAME}.ampkg
    )
    add_dependencies(package-installation package-installation-create-${PKG_NAME}-ampkg)
endforeach()
