 Then there's the | symbol.  In this context, is it a separator for strings
 or a logical or?  Assuming CONFIG contains either debug or release, how is
 CONFIG(debug, debug|release) different from CONFIG(debug)?

CONFIG(debug) returns true if the CONFIG variable contains debug.

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) returns true if, out of the
mutually-exclusive set of debug and release, the last value set
was debug.

So for CONFIG = debug release, CONFIG(debug) returns true but
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) returns false.

[Qt-creator] How to modify output-directory of exe or how to set a working directory?

2010-12-03 Thread Jens Saathoff 
Hi!

I'm using QTCreator 2.0.1 with Qt 4.7 on a Windows 7 64-Bit Machine. I
want to set a working directory, but if i try to access files that are
inside the working-dir it doesn't work because the exe is in
MyProject-build-desktop.
Is it possible to get the exe output to a directory of choice or how
to set the working-directory so that the currentPath() of my exe is
in myfolder ?

Sorry, i'm very new to Qt and QtCreator.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Well, the way we are doing it is, in the Project settings, build tab, we turn 
off Shadow build:, then it appears to respect the paths in the .pro files, as 
so:


Release:LIBS += ../../../../build/lib/release/libCustomWidgetLib.a
Release:DESTDIR = ../../../../build/bin/release
Release:OBJECTS_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/release/.obj/$$TARGET
Release:MOC_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/release/.moc/$$TARGET
Release:RCC_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/release/.rcc/$$TARGET
Release:UI_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/release/.ui/$$TARGET

Debug:LIBS += ../../../../build/lib/debug/libCustomWidgetLib.a
Debug:DESTDIR = ../../../../build/bin/debug
Debug:OBJECTS_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/debug/.obj/$$TARGET
Debug:MOC_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/debug/.moc/$$TARGET
Debug:RCC_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/debug/.rcc/$$TARGET
Debug:UI_DIR = ../../../../build/bin/debug/.ui/$$TARGET

We add these ourselves, they don't come from the project wizard, but qmake 
seems to respect them.  Of course you change them to wherever you want your 
build, libs etc.

Then, back in the Project settings, now go to the Run Settings tab, and you 
have to tell it to run the executable from the target build directory you set 
up above.  So we add a new Run Configuration and set the executable and working 
directory paths to where we want them.  Then we delete the old, default one 
that pointed to the wrong location, since you can't edit it to set its 
executable path.

I hope this helps a little.

news:idbpm0$b7...@eple.troll.no:

 That's not the right way to make variable assignments depend on 'debug'
 or 'release', see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qmake-common-projects.html
 
 It's something like
 
  CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
  TARGET = debug_binary
  } else {
  TARGET = release_binary
  }

I keep reading the documentation for the CONFIG function and not 
understanding it.  My confusion starts with the two statements:

(1) CONFIG variable values:
release   The project is to be built in release mode. This is ignored if 
debug is also specified.

(2) CONFIG(config) function:
As the order of values is important in CONFIG variables (i.e. the last one 
set will be considered the active config for mutually exclusive values)...

So if I say
  CONFIG = debug release
is release ignored or is it the active config?

Then there's the | symbol.  In this context, is it a separator for strings 
or a logical or?  Assuming CONFIG contains either debug or release, how is 
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) different from CONFIG(debug)?
