QMake .pro file : include other makefile

[bkamps]

Hi,

Currently we have several non-qt projects with some common makefiles. Right now I created an Qt project and now I want to include the common makefile to support some targets used by all projects.

Is there some way to tell qmake to include other makefiles in the makefile generated by qmake? I have searched the web but couldn't find the solution..

Maybe a subdirs project can do the trick:

@
TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS = commonlib speciallib
commonlib.makefile = /path/to/commonlib/makefile
speciallib.makefile = /path/to/speciallib/makefile
@

(Brain to terminal, not tested; see the "SUBDIRS":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qmake-variable-reference.html#subdirs reference doc for further details).

You will have to add the resulting libs etc. to your actual project then.

I get errors that it cannot find the .pro file..

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS = common_unittest
common_unittest.makefile = ../../Makefile.common_unittest

Results:
cd common_unittest/ && /home/dm051/sotasm3/qt/build/bin/qmake /home/dm051/sotasm3/AdvancedMmi/unittest_src/common_unittest/common_unittest.pro CONFIG+=debug_and_release -o ../../Makefile.common_unittest
Cannot find file: /home/dm051/sotasm3/AdvancedMmi/unittest_src/common_unittest/common_unittest.pro.
