Please specify "include other files". Did you want to say "include other
.qbs files into a project"?

If yes, then in addition to the 2 ways you mentioned, you could also extend
a Qbs language item and instanciate that somewhere in your project. See
http://doc.qt.io/qbs/custom-modules.html#custom-items and see
http://doc.qt.io/qbs/qbsconvenienceitems-qmlmodule.html for a list of
derived Product/Project items that are shipped with Qbs.

Hi,

I'm trying to build a repository for multiple libraries and applications,
where
every product is located in an own submodule. Right now I'm at this point:

root/
- all.qbs
- libs/
   - libs.qbs
   - up.qbs
   - lib1/
     - lib1.qbs
   - lib2/
     - lib2.qbs

Lib2 needs lib1. The file contents are as follows (striped to what I think 
is
relevant):

lib1.qbs
Product {
   name: "Lib1"
   Export { cpp.includePaths: ["./include"] }
}

lib2.qbs
Project {
   references: ["../up.qbs"]
   Depends { name: "Lib1" }
}

up.qbs
Project { references: ["../all.qbs"] }

all.qbs
Project { references: ["libs/libs.qbs"] }

libs.qbs
Project { references: ["lib1/lib1.qbs", "lib2/lib2.qbs"] }

Trying to compile lib2 I get the message "Cycle detected while referencing
file
'lib2/lib2.qbs'." And the Include-Path is not added (although QtCreator
did find
the headers for auto completion).

The message is clear, but not how do I solve this problem? I want the
libraries
to be able to use other libraries, without knowing their path, only their
name.
I'm willing to use something like my up.qbs here or maybe a function to
filter
out the current root qbs (in my case lib2.qbs) from the references list,
but I
don't know if this is possible and if how to do it. I have right now no
experience in QML/JS.

Can anybody help me, or show another solution to my problem?

Many thanks in advance,
Björn.

Yeah thanks, of course I had exported the cpp dependency, I just had used the 
library qbs files directly and not the root qbs. Now that I'm using the root qbs 
I don't need the up.qbs, right.

Are you saying you want to be able to open a library project file in isolation 
(as opposed to the top-level project) and expect it to know everything else? If 
so, may I ask why? Obviously, you are relying on the entire project to be 
present anyway, so why not work with that one?

Yeah on my way to work today I thought I should open the root qbs.
So yes and no, I don't want to be able, until now I just hadn't thought about 
using it otherwise.


But I have one more question: Is Project { references: [...] } the only way to 
include other files, apart from defining new modules?


Björn.

I think it should be enough to delete up.qbs and remove references:
["../up.qbs"] from lib2.qbs.
Obviously if you export cpp.includePaths you must export a dependency to
cpp.

[Qbs] Including project files matching git submodules

[Björn Schäpers]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a repository for multiple libraries and applications, where 
every product is located in an own submodule. Right now I'm at this point:


root/
- all.qbs
- libs/
  - libs.qbs
  - up.qbs
  - lib1/
- lib1.qbs
  - lib2/
- lib2.qbs

Lib2 needs lib1. The file contents are as follows (striped to what I think is 
relevant):


lib1.qbs
Product {
  name: "Lib1"
  Export { cpp.includePaths: ["./include"] }
}

lib2.qbs
Project {
  references: ["../up.qbs"]
  Depends { name: "Lib1" }
}

up.qbs
Project { references: ["../all.qbs"] }

all.qbs
Project { references: ["libs/libs.qbs"] }

libs.qbs
Project { references: ["lib1/lib1.qbs", "lib2/lib2.qbs"] }

Trying to compile lib2 I get the message "Cycle detected while referencing file 
'lib2/lib2.qbs'." And the Include-Path is not added (although QtCreator did find 
the headers for auto completion).


The message is clear, but not how do I solve this problem? I want the libraries 
to be able to use other libraries, without knowing their path, only their name. 
I'm willing to use something like my up.qbs here or maybe a function to filter 
out the current root qbs (in my case lib2.qbs) from the references list, but I 
don't know if this is possible and if how to do it. I have right now no 
experience in QML/JS.
