      I have a QML/C++ app that needs a config file when loading.

      So, my question is : how can use cmake to install that conf file when building the app ?
      is there a special var in cmake pointing to the equivalent folder of the C++ call

      QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppConfigLocation);
      

      Thanks in advance !

        Do you mean an ini file you use via QSettings API? What exactly do you want to do? You cannot install something into the user's home directory with cmake and have it included in your click package, no.

          @dobey Well, that's exactly what I wanted to do...
          So, the only workaround would be to create it using the app...

          But then, The settings, I was thinking about, are app specifc ones, not user, so I'll just include them in the code ...

          Cheers
