    Description

      Hi,

      I'm trying to deploy a symbolic link to my remote device.

      I configured my .PRO as follows:

      rc5File.path = /etc/rc5.d
      rc5File.extra = ls # Used to force folder creation in the build process
      INSTALLS += rc5File
      
      initFile.path = /etc/init.d
      initFile.files += qt
      initFile.extra = cd $(INSTALL_ROOT)$$rc5File.path && ln -sf ../init.d/$$initFile.files S50$$initFile.files
      INSTALLS += initFile
      

      But when I deploy to the IDE the symbolic link is not sent to the target device.
      There is no error in the compilation process and neither in the deployment process.

      The interesting thing is that, when I perform a "make install" with INSTALL_ROOT configured for a tmp directory that I created in my build folder, the symbolic link is created correctly in the target folder.

      Is there an extra step I should take or can this only be done by the "Run custom remote command" in the project tab?

      I use root access on my device and even write other files in the /etc directory.

      I ran the command you suggested, but the installer.log file for some reason I don't know is not created, either on my machine or on the device.

      But as I mentioned before, when I perform a "make install" on my machine with INSTALL_ROOT configured for a tmp directory that I created in my build folder, the symbolic link is created correctly in the target folder.

      I believed that all the content generated within this folder would be the content that the deployment process would send to the device, but this situation seems to show that it is not quite like that.

      08:22:48: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited normally.
      08:22:48: The remote file system has 12338 megabytes of free space, going ahead.

      When I add the "Run custom remote command" in the Project tab, after the deployment process the commands that I want to be executed, occur successfully.

      I would like the same process to be performed via .PRO settings.
