QT_ANDROID_CREATE_SYMLINKS_ONLY

Only create symlinks for dependencies under the Gradle project directory.

This variable was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Note: This variable is in technology preview and may change in future releases.

Note: This variable is used only if targeting the Android platform.

Create symlinks for shared libraries, jars and resource, etc. instead of a full copy. This can be useful to avoid projects taking extra space, and instead directly use, for example, library files referenced from a Qt installation.

See also qt_android_generate_deployment_settings().
