Deploy custom install target to Linux device with executable flags

Hi,

i am trying to deploy gdbserver from my Windows host to the remote Linux target device.

For that i added

gdbserver.path = /tmp
gdbserver.files = $$PWD/gdbserver
gdbserver.CONFIG += executable
INSTALLS += gdbserver

to the .pro file. The deployment works as expected, but since the file comes from the Windows file system it lacks the executable flags on the device after deployment.

I somewhere read about adding "executable" to the CONFIG member might work, but it doesn't.

Is it me or QtCreator who is missing something?
