It cannot be called directly by the project. \cmakecommandsince 6.3 \note This command does not usually need to be called directly. It is used internally by other higher level commands, but projects wishing to implement more customized deployment logic may find it useful. \section1 Synopsis \badcode qt_deploy_qt_conf(file_path [PREFIX prefix] [DOC_DIR doc_dir] [HEADERS_DIR headers_dir] [LIB_DIR lib_dir] [LIBEXEC_DIR libexec_dir] [BIN_DIR bin_dir] [PLUGINS_DIR plugins_dir] [QML_DIR qml_dir] [ARCHDATA_DIR archdata_dir] [DATA_DIR data_dir] [TRANSLATIONS_DIR translations_dir] [EXAMPLES_DIR examples_dir] [TESTS_DIR test_dir] [SETTINGS_DIR settings_dir] ) \endcode \section1 Description Use this command when you need to generate a \l{Using qt.conf}{qt.conf} file during deployment. The default value of any path supported by \c{qt.conf} can be overridden with the corresponding \c{..._DIR} option. The command will only write a path to the generated \c{qt.conf} file if it differs from the default value. The default values can be found at \l{Overriding Paths}. The \c file_path argument expects an absolute path to the location where the \c qt.conf file should be written to. The \l{QT_DEPLOY_PREFIX} and \l{QT_DEPLOY_BIN_DIR} variables can be used to dynamically specify a path relative to the deployment binary directory, as shown in the example below. This helps avoid hard-coding an absolute path. \sa {qt6_generate_deploy_app_script}{qt_generate_deploy_app_script()}, {qt6_deploy_runtime_dependencies}{qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies()} \section1 Example \badcode # The following script must only be executed at install time qt_generate_deploy_script( OUTPUT_SCRIPT deploy_script CONTENT " qt_deploy_qt_conf(\"\${QT_DEPLOY_PREFIX}/\${QT_DEPLOY_BIN_DIR}/qt.conf\" DATA_DIR \"./custom_data_dir\" TRANSLATIONS_DIR \"./custom_translations_dir\" ) ") install(SCRIPT ${deploy_script}) \endcode */
