Why does qmake put all object (.o) files to one directory?

Question

Let\'s say I have a Qt application where I have two classes with the same name in two different namespaces:

namespace namespace1
{
    class SomeClass;
}

na         


        

Answer 1

You can actually put object files alongside source files by using:

CONFIG += object_parallel_to_source

or

CONFIG += object_with_source

depending on your qmake version.
