Hi Lars. The DESTINATION parameter of install() accepts only a single argument, which means it's tripping on the line break between the two genexes. Make it one argument:
INSTALL(FILES ${qt5_locations} DESTINATION $<$<PLATFORM_ID:Windows>:bin>$<$<PLATFORM_ID:Linux>:lib> COMPONENT runtime) This should work.
