\section1 About This Reference
|
|
|
|
This reference is a detailed index of all command line options,
|
|
configurations and internal variables used by the cross-platform
|
|
makefile generation utility \e qmake.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the variables and functions described in the following
|
|
sections, \e qmake project files may also include comments.
|
|
Comments begin with the '#' symbol and run to the end of the line.
|

|
\code
|
|
qmake [options] files
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 Options
|
|
|
|
The following options can be specified on the command line to \e qmake:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i \c -o file \BR
|
|
\e qmake output will be directed to \e file. if this argument
|
|
is not specified, then \e qmake will try to guess a suitable name. If '-' is
|
|
specified, output is directed to stdout.
|
|
\i \c -unix \BR
|
|
\e qmake will run in unix mode. In this mode, Unix file
|
|
naming and path conventions will be used, additionally testing for unix
|
|
(as a scope) will succeed. This is the default mode on all Unices.
|
|
\i \c -macx \BR
|
|
\e qmake will run in Mac OS X mode. In this mode, Unix file
|
|
naming and path conventions will be used, additionally testing for macx
|
|
(as a scope) will succeed. This is the default mode on Mac OS X.
|
|
\i \c -win32 \BR
|
|
\e qmake will run in win32 mode. In this mode, Windows file naming and path
|
|
conventions will be used, additionally testing for win32 (as a scope) will succeed.
|
|
This is the default mode on Windows.
|
|
\i \c -d \BR
|
|
\e qmake will output (hopefully) useful debugging information.
|
|
\i \c -t tmpl \BR
|
|
\e qmake will override any set TEMPLATE variables with tmpl, but only
|
|
\e after the .pro file has been processed.
|
|
\i \c -tp prefix \BR
|
|
\e qmake will add the prefix to the TEMPLATE variable.
|
|
\i \c -help \BR
|
|
\e qmake will go over these features and give some useful help.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
There are also warning options that can help to find problems in your
|
|
project file:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i \c -Wall \BR
|
|
With this \e qmake will turn on all known warnings.
|
|
\i \c -Wnone \BR
|
|
No warning information will be generated by \e qmake.
|
|
\i \c -Wparser \BR
|
|
\e qmake will only generate parser warnings, this will alert
|
|
you to common pitfalls, and potential problems in the parsing of your .pro
|
|
files.
|
|
\i \c -Wlogic \BR
|
|
Again \e qmake will warn of common pitfalls, and potential problems. This can
|
|
include (but not limited to) checking if a file is placed into a list of files
|
|
multiple times, if a file cannot be found, etc.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\e qmake supports two different modes of operation. The first mode,
|
|
which is the default is makefile generation. In this mode, \e qmake
|
|
will take a .pro file and turn it into a makefile. Creating makefiles
|
|
is covered by this reference guide, there is another mode which
|
|
generates .pro files.
|
|
|
|
To toggle between these modes you must specify in the first argument
|
|
what mode you want to use. If no mode is specified, \e qmake will
|
|
assume you want makefile mode. The available modes are:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i \c -makefile \BR
|
|
\e qmake output will be a makefile (\link #MakefileMode Makefile mode \endlink).
|
|
\i \c -project \BR
|
|
\e qmake output will be a project file (\link #ProjectfileMode Project file mode \endlink).
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
\target MakefileMode
|
|
\section3 Makefile Mode
|
|
|
|
In Makefile mode \e qmake will generate a makefile. Additionally you may
|
|
supply the following arguments in this mode:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i \c -after \BR
|
|
\e qmake will process assignments given on the commandline after
|
|
the specified files.
|
|
\i \c -nocache \BR
|
|
\e qmake will ignore the .qmake.cache file.
|
|
\i \c -nodepend \BR
|
|
\e qmake will not generate any dependency information.
|
|
\i \c -cache file \BR
|
|
\e qmake will use \e file as the cache file, ignoring any other .qmake.cache file found
|
|
\i \c -spec spec \BR
|
|
\e qmake will use \e spec as a path to platform-compiler information and QMAKESPEC will be ignored.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
The \c files argument can be a list of one or more project files, separated
|
|
by spaces. You may also pass qmake assignments on the command line here and
|
|
they will be processed before all files specified, for example:
|
|
|
|
qmake -makefile -unix -o Makefile "CONFIG+=test" test.pro
|
|
|
|
If however you are certain you want your variables processed after the
|
|
the files specified, then you may pass the -after argument. When this
|
|
is specified all assignments on the commandline after the -after
|
|
option will be postponed until after the specified files are parsed.
|
|
|
|
This will generate a Makefile, from test.pro with Unix pathnames. However
|
|
many of these arguments aren't necessary as they are the default. Therefore
|
|
the line can be simplified on Unix to:
|
|
|
|
qmake "CONFIG+=test" test.pro
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target ProjectfileMode
|
|
\section3 Projectfile Mode
|
|
|
|
In Projectfile mode \e qmake will generate a project file. Additionally, you may
|
|
supply the following arguments in this mode:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i \c -r \BR
|
|
\e qmake will look through supplied directories recursively
|
|
\i \c -nopwd \BR
|
|
\e qmake will not look in your current working directory for
|
|
source code and only use the specified \c files
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
The \c files argument can be a list of files or directories. If a
|
|
directory is specified, then it will be included in the \link
|
|
#DEPENDPATH DEPENDPATH \endlink variable and relevant code from there
|
|
will be included in the generated project file, if a file is given it
|
|
will go into the correct variable depending on extension (i.e. .ui
|
|
files go into FORMS, .cpp files go into SOURCES, etc). Here too you
|
|
may pass assignments on the commandline, when doing so these
|
|
assignments will be placed last in the generated .pro file.
|

|
|
\section2 Frequently Used System Variables
|
|
|
|
The following variables are recognized by \e qmake and are used
|
|
most frequently when creating project files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target CONFIG
|
|
\section3 CONFIG
|
|
|
|
The \c CONFIG variable specifies project configuration and
|
|
compiler options. The values will be recognized internally by
|
|
\e qmake and have special meaning. They are as follows.
|
|
|
|
These \c CONFIG values control compilation flags:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i release - Compile with optimization enabled, ignored if
|
|
"debug" is specified
|
|
\i debug - Compile with debug options enabled
|
|
\i warn_on - The compiler should emit more warnings than normally, ignored if
|
|
"warn_off" is specified
|
|
\i warn_off - The compiler should only emit severe warnings.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
These options define the application/library type:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i qt - The target is a TQt application/library and requires the TQt header
|
|
files/library. The proper include and library paths for the Qt
|
|
library will automatically be added to the project.
|
|
\i opengl - The target requires the OpenGL (or Mesa)
|
|
headers/libraries. The proper include and library paths for
|
|
these libraries will automatically be added to the project.
|
|
\i thread - The target is a multi-threaded application or library. The
|
|
proper defines and compiler flags will automatically be added to
|
|
the project.
|
|
\i x11 - The target is a X11 application or library. The proper
|
|
include paths and libraries will automatically be added to the
|
|
project.
|
|
\i windows - The target is a Win32 window application (app only). The
|
|
proper include paths,compiler flags and libraries will
|
|
automatically be added to the project.
|
|
\i console - The target is a Win32 console application (app only). The
|
|
proper include paths, compiler flags and libraries will
|
|
automatically be added to the
|
|
project.
|
|
\i dll - The target is a shared object/DLL.The proper
|
|
include paths, compiler flags and libraries will automatically be
|
|
added to the project.
|
|
\i staticlib - The target is a static library (lib only). The proper
|
|
compiler flags will automatically be added to the project.
|
|
\i plugin - The target is a plugin (lib only). This enables dll as well.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
These options are used to set the compiler flags:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i exceptions - Exception support is enabled
|
|
\i rtti - RTTI support is enabled
|
|
\i stl - STL support is enabled
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
These options define specific things depending on the platform and/or template:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i flat - When using the vcapp template this will put all the source files into the source group and
|
|
the header files into the header group regardless of what directory they reside in. Turning this
|
|
option off will group the files within the source/header group depending on the directory they
|
|
reside. This is turned on by default.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
The \c CONFIG variable will also be checked when resolving
|
|
scopes. You may assign anything to this variable.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
CONFIG += qt console newstuff
|
|
...
|
|
newstuff {
|
|
SOURCES += new.cpp
|
|
HEADERS += new.h
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target DEFINES
|
|
\section3 DEFINES
|
|
|
|
\e qmake adds the values of this variable as compiler C
|
|
preprocessor macros (-D option).
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
DEFINES += USE_MY_STUFF QT_DLL
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target DEF_FILE
|
|
\section3 DEF_FILE
|
|
|
|
\e {This is only used on Windows when using the 'app' template}.
|
|
|
|
Specifies a .def file to be included in the project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target DESTDIR
|
|
\section3 DESTDIR
|
|
|
|
Specifies where to put the \link #TARGET target \endlink file.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
DESTDIR = ../../lib
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\target DLLDESTDIR
|
|
\section3 DLLDESTDIR
|
|
|
|
Specifies where to copy the \link #TARGET target \endlink dll.
|
|
|
|
\target HEADERS
|
|
\section3 HEADERS
|
|
|
|
Defines the header files for the project.
|
|
|
|
\e qmake will generate dependency information (unless -nodepend
|
|
is specified on the \link #Commands command line \endlink) for the
|
|
specified headers. \e qmake will also automatically detect if
|
|
\e moc is required by the classes in these headers, and add the
|
|
appropriate dependencies and files to the project for generating and
|
|
linking the moc files.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
HEADERS = myclass.h \
|
|
login.h \
|
|
mainwindow.h
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
See also \link #SOURCES SOURCES \endlink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target INCLUDEPATH
|
|
\section3 INCLUDEPATH
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the #include directories which should be
|
|
searched when compiling the project. Use ';' or a space as the
|
|
directory separator.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
INCLUDEPATH = c:\msdev\include d:\stl\include
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target FORMS
|
|
\section3 FORMS
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the .ui files (see \link
|
|
designer-manual.book TQt Designer \endlink) to be processed through \e uic
|
|
before compiling. All dependencies, headers and source files required
|
|
to build these .ui files will automatically be added to the project.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
FORMS = mydialog.ui \
|
|
mywidget.ui \
|
|
myconfig.ui
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Note that forms should not be specified using the \c += operator because
|
|
this syntax is not fully supported by \QD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target LEXSOURCES
|
|
\section3 LEXSOURCES
|
|
|
|
This variable contains a list of lex source files. All
|
|
dependencies, headers and source files will automatically be added to
|
|
the project for building these lex files.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
LEXSOURCES = lexer.l
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target LIBS
|
|
\section3 LIBS
|
|
|
|
This variable contains a list of libraries to be linked into the project.
|
|
If you are more comfortable with the Unix convension of -L/-l flags you are
|
|
free to use them in a cross-platform manner and qmake will do the correct
|
|
thing with these libraries on Windows (namely this means passing the full
|
|
path of the library to the linker). The only limitation to this is the
|
|
library must exist, for qmake to find which directory a -l lib lives in.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:LIBS += -lmath -L/usr/local/lib
|
|
win32:LIBS += c:\mylibs\math.lib
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target MOC_DIR
|
|
\section3 MOC_DIR
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the directory where all intermediate moc
|
|
files should be placed.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:MOC_DIR = ../myproject/tmp
|
|
win32:MOC_DIR = c:\myproject\tmp
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target OBJECTS_DIR
|
|
\section3 OBJECTS_DIR
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the directory where all intermediate
|
|
objects should be placed.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:OBJECTS_DIR = ../myproject/tmp
|
|
win32:OBJECTS__DIR = c:\myproject\tmp
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target UI_DIR
|
|
\section3 UI_DIR
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the directory where all intermediate files from uic
|
|
should be placed. This variable overrides both UI_SOURCES_DIR and
|
|
UI_HEADERS_DIR.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:UI_DIR = ../myproject/ui
|
|
win32:UI_DIR = c:\myproject\ui
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\target UI_HEADERS_DIR
|
|
\section3 UI_HEADERS_DIR
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the directory where all declaration files (as
|
|
generated by uic) should be placed.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:UI_HEADERS_DIR = ../myproject/ui/include
|
|
win32:UI_HEADERS_DIR = c:\myproject\ui\include
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\target UI_SOURCES_DIR
|
|
\section3 UI_SOURCES_DIR
|
|
|
|
This variable specifies the directory where all implementation files (as generated
|
|
by uic) should be placed.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:UI_SOURCES_DIR = ../myproject/ui/src
|
|
win32:UI_SOURCES_DIR = c:\myproject\ui\src
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target REQUIRES
|
|
\section3 REQUIRES
|
|
|
|
This is a special variable processed by \e qmake. If the
|
|
contents of this variable do not appear in CONFIG by the time this
|
|
variable is assigned, then a minimal makefile will be generated that
|
|
states what dependencies (the values assigned to REQUIRES) are
|
|
missing.
|
|
|
|
This is mainly used in Qt's build system for building the examples.
|
|
|
|
\target SOURCES
|
|
\section3 SOURCES
|
|
|
|
This variable contains the name of all source files in the project.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
SOURCES = myclass.cpp \
|
|
login.cpp \
|
|
mainwindow.cpp
|
|
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
See also \link #HEADERS HEADERS \endlink
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section3 SUBDIRS
|
|
|
|
This variable, when used with the 'subdirs'
|
|
\link #TEMPLATE TEMPLATE \endlink contains the names of all subdirectories
|
|
to look for a project file.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
SUBDIRS = kernel \
|
|
tools
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target TARGET
|
|
\section3 TARGET
|
|
|
|
This specifies the name of the target file.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
TEMPLATE = app
|
|
TARGET = myapp
|
|
SOURCES = main.cpp
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The project file above would produce an executable named 'myapp' on
|
|
unix and 'myapp.exe' on windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target TEMPLATE
|
|
\section3 TEMPLATE
|
|
|
|
This variable contains the name of the template to use when
|
|
generating the project. The allowed values are:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i app - Creates a makefile for building applications (the default)
|
|
\i lib - Creates a makefile for building libraries
|
|
\i subdirs - Creates a makefile for building targets in subdirectories
|
|
\i vcapp - \e {win32 only} Creates an application project file for
|
|
Visual Studio
|
|
\i vclib - \e {win32 only} Creates a library project file for Visual
|
|
Studio
|
|
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
TEMPLATE = lib
|
|
SOURCES = main.cpp
|
|
TARGET = mylib
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The template can be overridden by specifying a new template type with the
|
|
\c -t command line option. This overrides the template type \e after the .pro
|
|
file has been processed. With .pro files that use the template type to
|
|
determine how the project is built, it is necessary to declare TEMPLATE on
|
|
the command line rather than use the \c -t option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section3 VERSION
|
|
|
|
This variable contains the version number of the library if the
|
|
'lib' \link #TEMPLATE TEMPLATE \endlink is specified.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
VERSION = 1.2.3
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section3 DISTFILES
|
|
|
|
This variable contains a list of files to be included in the dist
|
|
target. This feature is supported by UnixMake specs only.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
DISTFILES += ../program.txt
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target YACCSOURCES
|
|
\section3 YACCSOURCES
|
|
|
|
This variable contains a list of yacc source files to be included
|
|
in the project. All dependencies, headers and source files will
|
|
automatically be included in the project.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
YACCSOURCES = moc.y
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target RarelyUsedSystemVariables
|
|
\section2 Rarely Used System Variables
|
|
|
|
The following variables are also recognized by \e qmake but are

\section3 LITERAL_HASH
|
|
|
|
This variable is used whenever a literal hash character (\c{#}) is needed in

For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
# To include a literal hash character, use the $$LITERAL_HASH variable:
|
|
urlPieces = http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qmake-manual-8.html LITERAL_HASH
|

message($$join(urlPieces, $$LITERAL_HASH))
|
|
\endcode

\target Functions
|
|
\section1 Functions
|
|
|
|
\e qmake recognizes the following functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section2 include( filename )
|
|
|
|
This function will include the contents of \e filename into the
|
|
current project at the point where was included. The function succeeds
|
|
if \e filename was included, otherwise it fails. You can check the
|
|
return value of this function using a
|
|
scope.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
include( shared.pri )
|
|
OPTIONS = standard custom
|
|
!include( options.pri ) {
|
|
message( "No custom build options specified" )
|
|
OPTIONS -= custom
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 exists( file )
|
|
|
|
This function will test if \e file exists. If the file exists, then it will succeed; otherwise it will
|
|
fail.
|
|
You can specify a regular expression in file and it will succeed if any file
|
|
matches the regular expression specified.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
\code
|
|
exists( $(QTDIR)/lib/libtqt-mt* ) {
|
|
message( "Configuring for multi-threaded Qt..." )
|
|
CONFIG += thread
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode

This function will succeed if the variable \e variablename
|
|
contains the value \e value. You can check the return value of this
|
|
function using a scope.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
contains( drivers, network ) {
|
|
# drivers contains 'network'
|
|
message( "Configuring for network build..." )
|
|
HEADERS += network.h
|
|
SOURCES += network.cpp
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 count( variablename, number )
|
|
|
|
This function will succeed if the variable \e variablename
|
|
contains \e number elements, otherwise it will fail. You can check
|
|
the return value of this function using a
|
|
scope.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
MYVAR = one two three
|
|
count( MYVAR, 3 ) {
|
|
# always true
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 infile( filename, var, val )
|
|
|
|
This function will succeed if the file \e filename (when parsed
|
|
by qmake itself) contains the variable \e var with a value of
|
|
\e val. You may also not pass in a third argument (\e val) and the
|
|
function will only test if \e var has been assigned to in the file.
|
|
|
|
\section2 isEmpty( variablename )
|
|
|
|
This function will succeed if the variable \e variablename is
|
|
empty (same as \c count(variable, 0)).
|
|
|
|
\section2 system( command )
|
|
|
|
This function will execute \c command in a secondary shell and will
|
|
succeed if the command exits with an exit status of 1. You can check the
|
|
return value of this function using a scope.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
system(ls /bin):HAS_BIN=FALSE
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\section2 message( string )
|
|
|
|
This function will always succeed, and will display the given
|
|
\e string to the user.
|
|
|
|
\section2 error( string )
|
|
|
|
This function will never return a value. It will display the given \e
|
|
string to the user, and then exit \e qmake. This function should
|
|
only be used for very fatal configurations.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
release:debug:error(You can't have release and debug at the same time!)
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\target Properties
|
|
\section1 Properties
|
|
|
|
\e qmake has a system of persistant information, this allows you to
|
|
'set' a variable in qmake once, and each time qmake is invoked this
|
|
value can be queried. Use the following to set a property in qmake:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
qmake -set VARIABLE VALUE
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
To retrieve this information back from qmake you can do:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
qmake -query VARIABLE
|
|
qmake -query #queries all current VARIABLE/VALUE pairs..
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This information will be saved into a QSettings object (meaning it
|
|
will be stored in different places for different platforms). As
|
|
VARIABLE is versioned as well, you can set one value in an older
|
|
version of qmake, and newer versions will retrieve this value, however
|
|
if you -set VARIABLE into a newer version of qmake the older version
|
|
will not use this value. You can however query a specific version of a
|
|
variable if you prefix that version of qmake to VARIABLE, as in:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
qmake -query "1.06a/VARIABLE"
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
qmake also has the notion of 'builtin' properties, for example you can
|
|
query the installation of TQt for this version of qmake with the
|
|
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX property:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
qmake -query "QT_INSTALL_PREFIX"
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
These builtin properties cannot have a version prefixed to them as
|
|
they are not versioned and each qmake will have its own notion of
|
|
these values. The list below outlines the builtin properties:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i QT_INSTALL_PREFIX - Where the version of TQt this qmake is built for resides
|
|
\i QT_INSTALL_DATA - Where data for this version of TQt resides
|
|
\i QMAKE_VERSION - The current version of qmake
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
Finally, these values can be queried in a project file with a special
|
|
notation such as:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QMAKE_VERS = $$[QMAKE_VERSION]
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\target Environment
|
|
\section1 Environment Variables and Configuration
|
|
|
|
\target QMAKESPEC
|
|
\section2 QMAKESPEC
|
|
|
|
\e qmake requires a platform and compiler description file which
|
|
contains many default values used to generate appropriate makefiles.
|
|
The standard TQt distribution comes with many of these files, located
|
|
in the 'mkspecs' subdirectory of the TQt installation.
|
|
|
|
The QMAKESPEC environment variable can contain any of the following:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i A complete path to a directory containing a qmake.conf file. In this case \e qmake will open the qmake.conf file from within that directory. If the file does not exist, \e qmake will exit with an error.
|
|
\i The name of a platform-compiler combination. In this case, \e qmake will search in the directory specified by the QTDIR environment variable.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
Note: the QMAKESPEC path will automatically be added to the
|
|
\link #INCLUDEPATH INCLUDEPATH \endlink system variable.
|
|
|
|
\target INSTALLS
|
|
\section2 INSTALLS
|
|
|
|
It is common on UNIX to be able to install from the same utility as
|
|
you build with (e.g make install). For this \e qmake has introduce the
|
|
concept of an install set. The notation for this is quite simple,
|
|
first you fill in an "object" in qmake for example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
documentation.path = /usr/local/program/doc
|
|
documentation.files = docs/*
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
In this way you are telling \e qmake several things about this
|
|
install, first that you plan to install to /usr/local/program/doc (the
|
|
path member), second that you plan to copy everything in the docs
|
|
directory. Once this is done you may insert it in the install list:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
INSTALLS += documentation
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Now \e qmake will take over making sure the correct things are copied
|
|
to the specified places. If however you require greater control you
|
|
may use the 'extra' member of the object:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
unix:documentation.extra = create_docs; mv master.doc toc.doc
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
Then qmake will run the things in extra (this is of course platform
|
|
specific, so you may need to test for your platform first, this case
|
|
we test for unix). Then it will do the normal processings of the files
|
|
member. Finally if you appened a builtin install to INSTALLS \e qmake
|
|
(and do not specify a files or extra member) will decide what needs to
|
|
be copied for you, currently the only supported builtin is target:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
target.path = /usr/local/myprogram
|
|
INSTALLS += target
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
With this \e qmake will know what you plan need copied, and do this
|
|
for you.
|
|
|
|
\target cache
|
|
\section2 Cache File
|
|
|
|
The cache file (mentioned above in the options) is a special file \e qmake
|
|
will read to find settings not specified in the \c qmake.conf file, the
|
|
.pro file, or the command line. If \c -nocache is not specified, \e qmake
|
|
will try to find a file called \c .qmake.cache in parent directories. If
|
|
it fails to find this file, it will silently ignore this step of
|
|
processing.
|
|
|
|
\target LibDepend
|
|
\section2 Library Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Often when linking against a library \e qmake relies on the underlying
|
|
platform to know what other libraries this library links against, and
|
|
lets the platform pull them in. In many cases, however, this is not
|
|
sufficent. For example when statically linking a library there are no
|
|
libraries linked against, and therefore no dependencies to those
|
|
libraries are created - however an application that later links
|
|
against this library will need to know where to find the symbols that
|
|
the linked in library will require. To help with this situation \e
|
|
qmake will follow a library's dependencies when it feels appropriate,
|
|
however this behaviour must be enabled in \e qmake. To enable requires
|
|
two steps. First, you must enable it in the library - to do this you
|
|
must tell \e qmake to save information about this library:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
CONFIG += create_prl
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This is only relevant to the lib template, and will be ignored for all
|
|
others. When this option is enabled \e qmake will create a file
|
|
(called a .prl file) which will save some meta information about the
|
|
library. This metafile is itself just a qmake project file, but with
|
|
all internal variables. You are free to view this file, and if deleted
|
|
\e qmake will know to recreate it when necesary (either when the .pro
|
|
file is later read, or if a dependent library (described below) has
|
|
changed). When installing this library (by using target in INSTALLS,
|
|
above) \e qmake will automatically copy the .prl file to your install
|
|
path.
|
|
|
|
The second step to enabling this processing is to turn on reading of
|
|
the meta information created above:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
CONFIG += link_prl
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
When this is turned on \e qmake will process all libraries linked to,
|
|
and find their meta information. With this meta information \e qmake
|
|
will figure out what is relevant to linking, specifically it will add
|
|
to your list of DEFINES as well as LIBS. Once \e qmake has processed
|
|
this file, it will then look through the newly introduced LIBS and
|
|
find their dependent .prl files, and continue until all libraries have
|
|
been resolved. At this point the makefile is created as usual, and the
|
|
libraries are linked explicity against your program.
|
|
|
|
The internals of the .prl file are left closed so they can easily
|
|
change later. It is not designed to be changed by hand however, and
|
|
should only be created by \e qmake - these .prl files should also not
|
|
be transfered from operating system to operating system as they may be
|
|
platform dependent (like a makefile).
|
|
|
|
\target Extensions
|
|
\section2 File Extensions
|
|
|
|
Under normal circumstances \e qmake will try to use appropriate file extensions
|
|
for your platform. There may be times, however, that you would like to override
|
|
the behavior of these extensions. To do this, you must modify builtin variables
|
|
in your .pro file, which will in turn changes \e qmake's interpretation of these
|
|
files. You may do this as:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QMAKE_EXT_MOC = .mymoc
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The variables are as follows:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_MOC - This modifies the extension placed on included moc files.
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_UI - This modifies the extension used for designer UI files (usually in FORMS).
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_PRL - This modifies the extension placed on
|
|
\link #LibDepend library dependency files \endlink.
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_LEX - This changes the suffix used in files (usually in LEXSOURCES).
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_YACC - This changes the suffix used in files (usually in YACCSOURCES).
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_OBJ - This changes the suffix used on generated object files.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
All the above accept just the first value, so you must assign to it one value that
|
|
will be used through your makefile. There are two variables that accept a list of values,
|
|
they are:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_CPP - Changes interpretation all files with these suffixes to be
|
|
C++ source files.
|
|
\i QMAKE_EXT_H - Changes interpretation all files with these suffixes to be
|
|
C header files.
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
|
|
\target Customizing
|
|
\section2 Customizing Makefile Output
|
|
|
|
qmake often tries to be all things to all build tools, this is often less
|
|
than ideal when you really need to run special platform dependent
|
|
commands. This can be achieved with specific instructions to the different
|
|
qmake backends (currently this is only supported by the UNIX \link
|
|
#MAKEFILE_GENERATOR generator \endlink).
|
|
|
|
The interfaces to customizing the Makefile are done through "objects" as in
|
|
other places in qmake. The notation for this is quite simple, first you
|
|
fill in an "object" in qmake for example:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
mytarget.target = .buildfile
|
|
mytarget.commands = touch $$mytarget.target
|
|
mytarget.depends = mytarget2
|
|
|
|
mytarget2.commands = @echo Building $$mytarget.target
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The information above defines a qmake target called mytarget which contains
|
|
a Makefile target called .buildfile, .buildfile is generated by 'touch
|
|
.buildfile', and finally that this Makefile target depends on the qmake
|
|
target mytarget2. Additionally we've defined the qmake target mytarget2
|
|
which simply echo's something to stdout.
|
|
|
|
The final step to making use of the above is to instruct qmake that this is
|
|
actually an object used by the target building parts of qmake by:
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
QMAKE_EXTRA_UNIX_TARGETS += mytarget mytarget2
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
This is all you need to do to actually build custom targets in qmake, of
|
|
course you may want to tie one of these targets to actually building the
|
|
\link #TARGET qmake build target \endlink. To do this, you simply need to
|
|
include your Makefile target in the list of \link #PRE_TARGETDEPS PRE_TARGETDEPS
|
|
\endlink.
|
|
|
|
For convenience there is also a method of customizing (UNIX) projects
|
|
for generic new compilers (or even preprocessors).
|
|
|
|
\code
|
|
new_moc.output = moc_${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.cpp
|
|
new_moc.commands = moc ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME} -o ${QMAKE_FILE_OUT}
|
|
new_moc.depends = g++ -E -M ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME} | sed "s,^.*: ,,"
|
|
new_moc.input = NEW_HEADERS
|
|
QMAKE_EXTRA_UNIX_COMPILERS += new_moc
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
With this you can create a new moc for qmake, the commands will be
|
|
executed over all arguments given to a NEW_HEADERS variable (from the
|
|
input variable), and write to output (and automatically hand this
|
|
filename to the compiler to be linked into your target). Additionally
|
|
qmake will execute depends to generate dependency information and
|
|
place this in the project as well.
|
|
|
|
These commands can easily be placed into a cache file, and subsequent
|
|
.pro files can give several arguments to NEW_HEADERS.
|
