Using QMAKE to build a both 32 and 64 bits versions of project

Question

I need to generate a 32 bits version of my application however I am compiling on a 64 bits OS. I\'m looking for a way to make QMake to generate both 32 and 64 bits versions

Answer 1

Use a construction something like:

CONFIG += 32bit

CONFIG(32bit) {
    TARGET = 32bit_binary
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -m32
    LIBS += -L
}
CONFIG(64bit) {
    TARGET = 64bit_binary
}

in your .pro file. Then you only need to change one line to recompile for the other architecture.
