I'm using the QMAKE_MAKEFILE setting in a .pro file, and when I invoke qmake on the command-line, it produces a makefile with the specified name. However, when I build using QtCreator, even though the makefile with the proper name is created (because QtCreator invokes qmake), QtCreator does not attempt to run make on that resulting makefile. I suspect it runs 'make' without parameters, which looks for a file named "Makefile" (which in my case does not exist)
Should QtCreator run make on the makefile specified by the .pro file's QMAKE_MAKEFILE? I understand that the .pro.user file can contain additional make arguments for the make step (under projects, build settings, build steps), however I don't think it's a good idea to check .pro.user files into revision control, so I'd rather not use that setting. IMO the best case would be for QtCreator to be able to build for any valid .pro file, without further separate tweaks being required. I am trying to modify qtcreator to effectively use QMAKE_MAKEFILE, if I succeed I will submit a patch. If there's a philosophical reason why that change would be undesirable, I'd like to know about it now, before I spend more time working on it. Alternatively, if a QtCreator developer views this as a bug and would like to work on it, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Miles
