Exclude source from build

[moravas]

Hi Folks,

My use case is the following:
I have some classes (source and header) that implement Windows, Linux or MAC dependent part.
How should I edit my .pro file for exclude the appropriate classes from the build, BUT they stay there in the project side bar for reading or even editing them?
Can I do this via the .pro file?

Regards,
Norbert

i can only think of something like this:

win32 {
    SOURCES += win.cpp
} else {
    OTHER_FILES += win.cpp
}

I scope them as @raven-worx shows for the different platforms, but I don't use OTHER_FILES, they are visible in my Creator (4.2) even if not built.

@kshegunov
that was what he requested ... as i understood it?
If i am wrong, remove the else part.

Yes, I know, I meant that OTHER_FILES += win.cpp shouldn't be needed. At least I don't need it for the files to show in Creator. For example I have:

macx {
    SOURCES += \
        $$PWD/qdaemoncontroller_osx.cpp \
        $$PWD/qdaemon_osx.cpp
} else: unix {
    SOURCES += \
        $$PWD/qdaemoncontroller_linux.cpp \
        $$PWD/qdaemon_linux.cpp
}

and I see all of them in the sidebar regardless of the platform.

@kshegunov
ah ok, didn't know that.

This might've been a change between Creator versions, that's why I'm raising it as a point (and providing my IDE's version). I think that on older versions this wasn't the case.

Hi,

It seems to be what I want.
Thank you!
