In general, it might just be easier (and more maintainable) to have a per-platform .pro file for your project and not litter your .pro file with lots of conditionals (been there, done that - it will become hard to read, understand and maintain as the number of platforms grows). If there’s a lot of common things that you need in each file, put that in a .pri file and include it in each platform-specific .pro file. Then, in the sailfish .spec, you can call qmake on the sailfish-specific project file, in the Maemo 5 debian/rules script, you call qmake on the maemo5 .pro file, etc… With that said, you can use packagesExist[1] to do sailfish-specific things if you are convinced that a single .pro file really is the way to go: packagesExist(sailfishapp) { .. do stuff .. } Alternatively, set an environment variable in the qmake call in the .spec file and check for that variable in the .pro file: # In the .spec file: IS_SAILFISH_OS=1 qmake # In the .pro file: IS_SAILFISH_OS = $$(IS_SAILFISH_OS) contains(IS_SAILFISH_OS, 1) { .. do stuff .. } HTH :) Thomas [1] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-function-reference.html#packagesexist-packages _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
