qmake

The structure of my project is as follow: Proj Proj.pro --subProj --subProj.pro ----subsubProj ----subsubProj.pro Is there a way i can instance a global variable in subProj.pro and call it en e.g. subsubProj.pro like: Proj.pro: GLOBAL_VAR = true subsubProj.pro: message($$GLOBAL_VAR) Update Maybe I should more precise with my problem. The usual behavior in Qt Creator when you right-click on Proj and choose "Build project"Proj"" is that qmake Proj.pro gets invoked then qmake subProj.pro and then subsubProj.pro What I want to achieve is: When i build the project "Proj" only Proj.pro and subProj

I can see only one merit of the feauture: we are able to issue the make all commad. Well, I do not call make in any point of my developer's life. I use Qt Creator and when I build the project I want it strictly as debug or as release. I guess this is an expeted behaviour by people. But debug_and_release is on by default in Qt Creator. Is there a merit in this I can't see? Is there some sense in the unintuitive mess like this: CONFIG( debug, debug|release ) { # debug } else { # release } which people are learning by making mistakes and asking WTF questions all over the internet? Am I missing

I'm trying to add the output of "git describe" to the about window of my application, so it's easier to find out what version of the application people use. I can do it by adding the following compiler flag: -DAPP_VERSION="$(git describe HEAD)" But since the project is based on qmake, I would like to find a way to put this into the Qt project file. Is this possible? And if so, how? edit: I tried adding the following: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -DAPP_VERSION="$(git describe HEAD)" But it just gave me "-DAPP_VERSION=", so I suppose I have to use some escape characters, but I don't know which ones and

I have a large exiting C++ project involving: 4 applications 50+ libraries 20+ third party libraries The project uses QMake (part of Trolltech's Qt) to build the production version on Linux, but I've been playing around at building it on MacOS. I can build in on MacOS using QMake just fine but I'm having trouble producing the final .app. It needs collecting all the third party frameworks and dynamic libraries, all the project's dynamic libraries and making sure the application finds them. I've read online about using install_name_tool but was wondering if there's a process to automate it.

I have a building environment where I add some prepending and appending lines to each Makefile generated. It would be nice if I could put this lines into the qmake generated file via my project file ( .pro ). Of cause I can do this via some easy shell scripting but it would be much nicer to do it from inside of the project file. Is there any qmake command to use? Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Example: include $(ROOT)/prepend.mk $(LIB):$(OBJ) @echo ... include $(ROOT)/append.mk Customizing Makefile Output .pro file: QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += extra_target extra_target.commands = @echo

I use qmake (Qt 4.5.1) to create my vcproj files. I would like to create customized filters for the output vcproj, such that not every *.h file ends up in the "Header Files" filter, *.cpp in "Source Files" etc. For example, a project containing the files foo\foo.h foo\foo.cpp bar\bar.h bar\bar.cpp should have a vcproj file with foo foo.h foo.cpp bar bar.h bar.cpp instead of Header Files bar.h bar.cpp Source Files bar.cpp foo.cpp Thanks! Krsna If you run qmake with CONFIG -= flat , you'll get the following project structure: Header Files foo foo.h bar bar.h Source Files foo foo.cpp bar bar.cpp
