[Interest] how to install QML module with cmake

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

There is currently no first class support for installing qml modules to be re-used in other projects, as if you were shipping an SDK with custom qml modules.
That is tracked at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-111946 and is a work-in-progress.

Some experimentation how it can be achieved with the current public APIs is mentioned in a comment of that issue
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-111946?focusedId=724235&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-724235

If you are not shipping an SDK, but rather want to install just the qml runtime library dependencies along with your project executable, 
you can take a look at qt's deployment apis, which should take care of that.
