Hi,

Why all that ?

@
debug_and_release {
CONFIG -= debug_and_release
CONFIG += debug_and_release
}
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
CONFIG -= debug release
CONFIG += debug
}
CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
CONFIG -= debug release
CONFIG += release
}@

These are all from a .pri file which is include in my .pro, this file is used across all of my projects, so I just copy pasted here for your ref.

@include ($$APPS/setDebugOrRelease.pri)@

This files has these lines,

@debug_and_release {
CONFIG -= debug_and_release
CONFIG += debug_and_release
}
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
CONFIG -= debug release
CONFIG += debug
}
CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
CONFIG -= debug release
CONFIG += release
}@

Thanks for the reply.
If I remove those lines from my .pro file still there are no effect.

!http://oi59.tinypic.com/2s9xi4k.jpg(Makefile.Release_diffs)!
For example:
The diffs in the image shows the Makefile.Release for the unitesttestsuite app (Right) and real app getting called with the Makefile.Release (Left).

Did you clean up properly after removing the CONFIG related lines ?

Thanks for the reply.
I figured out the issue to be in my cutetest.dll which was built in debug and release mode. my unittest app uses cutetest.dll

@qmake.exe unittests.pro -r -spec win32-msvc2010 "CONFIG+=release" "CONFIG+=CodeCoverage"
jom.exe -f Makefile.Debug@

Same .pro file as mentioned above is creating a Program Debug Database (.pdb) file in my "bin" folder instead of debug version of app.
could you please suggest any directions to figure out what is happening.?

You explicitly configure for release and then call build on the debug Makefile, that doesn't make sense.

If you want to call either Makefile when you want, just configure for debug and release.

Thanks for the reply.
It is working now with the below changes,

I removed the release and added both,
CONFIG += dll thread debug_and_release build_all

Good

Since you have your build working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
