Hi, Now that the change was approved, there is one more concern left to make CMake plugin more usable. I described it in details in this message (see second point): http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qt-creator/2013-July/002374.html
Note, that this issue happens only if you have targets that produce binaries but they're excluded from build (by using EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL, for example, and only having `make all` in build steps). There is a review request which suggest one of the possible solutions to this issue: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,60674 However, Christian Kandeler didn't like this approach. One more approach that I can think of (and willing to implement) is adding "Ignore file deployment errors" checkbox into deployment step "Upload files via SFTP" and, maybe, others. When checked, deployment process will still report deployment errors to the log, but will not fail, thus allowing to debug/run the project even if some files are missing or couldn't be deployed. Of course, we can always ignore build targets provided by CMake plugin and require to list all binaries in the QtCreatorDeployment.txt file. Any comments or suggestions?
