At the moment there is no CMake target for installing the sources of examples, one needs to copy examples manually to the installation directory. We do have things like install_docs, and these are convenient.
Having a CMake target doing that would be beneficial:
- examples need to be installed to show up in Qt Creator
- no need for every developer to figure out where the examples actually need to be installed, how
- no need for every developer to think up a terminal command for copying examples to the right directory (e.g. "git submodule foreach 'cp -r examples <installdir> || true'" - now, does that actually do TheRightThing?) with potential multiple trial and error cycles
- platform independent solution
- repeatable without potentially going through the whole thought process again
