What is the best practice to deploy xmake based binary projects with executables?

[qiuwei]

Suppose the target machine has compatible libc and libstdc++, what I do now is that using xmake install --installdir=./dist, then copy the dist directory to the target machine.

If the project depends on other packages, I copy all of the *.so which can be found in linkdirs in the on_install hook.

I am wondering what is the best practice for deploying binaries.

xmake will install them automatically, you need not write on_install

Thanks for the info. Indeed if I use the packages from xrepo, the *.so are automatically copied. However, the copied shared libraries are just symlinks.
