Hi

I'm using custom make commands to build my project. I delete the default
build steps and specify the my own build steps to be executed when project
is build in Qt Creator.
I specify a build directory in which make commands are to be executed and
specify the path of executable that is to be run.
The build directory path and executable path are stored in
untitled.pro.user.

Now my problem is that multiple users share this untitled.pro.user file
since it is checked in CVS along with untitled.pro. But the path stored in
untitled.pro.user are absolute paths and thus don't work for the other
users.

I need a feature so that I can specify the build directory path and
executable path relative to the path of untitled.pro that any user opens in
Qt Creator i.e. when we open a .pro in Qt Creator then an environmental
variable gets created $PROJECT_PATH which points to path of .pro file of the
project. Then I can specify build directory in untitled.pro.user like
$PROJECT_PATH/../bld and the executable path like
$PROJECT_PATH/../inst/untitled. In this I will be able to share same
untitled.pro.user among multiple users since the $PROJECT_PATH will be setup
for each user differently when he opens project in Qt Creator.

Alternatively to above feature we can be implement a feature that when
untitled.pro is opened then we can specify the custom path of
untitled.pro.user to be loaded and it should not look for untitled.pro.user
in the current directory. In this way users can keep their own independent
untitled.pro.user and need not check it in CVS

I hope I'm making my point clear !

Thanks
Anshul
