Sorry, I am stuck on this... When it comes to dynamically loaded shared libs that are required at link time, I can not figure out the trick of completely removing hard-coded paths from my Qt Creator project build environment. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH under the Qt Project Build Environment to a relative path works fine for building / linking. Example:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtsdk-2010.02/lib/qtcreator:/home/esutton/projects/myproject/guiproject/../../lib Question: How can I replace the base part of the relative path with a variable? Replacing with $(PWD), does not work. Apparently at the build environment stage, PWD is set to the qmake working directory of "/opt/qtsdk-2010.02/qt/bin" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtsdk-2010.02/lib/qtcreator:$(PWD)/../../lib Can a variable added to the Qt project file be referenced in the Qt project Build Environment ? I tried adding this to my Qt Project File: MYLDLIBPATH = $$PWD/../../lib message(MYLDLIBPATH == $$MYLDLIBPATH) and adding a reference to this variable in the Qt project Build Environment: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtsdk-2010.02/lib/qtcreator:$(MYLDLIBPATH) This does *not* work even though the qmake message displays the desired path: Project MESSAGE: MYLDLIBPATH = /home/esutton/projects/myproject/guiproject/../../lib I am building under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x. I do not want to use rpath because I want to avoid hard-coded paths in released binaries. My goal is to retrieve source code from the repository and to build a release using: qmake myproject.pro make -Ed _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
