    When the application is compiled through Qt Creator, the object files are generated in the directory (build-%{CurrentProject:Name}-%{CurrentKit:FileSystemName}-%{CurrentBuild:Name}) speicified in Qt Creator -> Tools -> Options -> Build and Run

    I am looking for the qmake/jom opion or qmake variable to speciffy the build directory when the application is compiled through command line, f.e. with the following commands:

    • qmake.exe pam.pro -spec win32-msvc2015 "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG+=qml_debug"
    • C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe qmake_all
    • C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe

      Hi
      i think you can do it via the .pro file

        there is no particular parameter, just create the folder, move to it and then call qmake with the path to the .pro file. in your case:

        mkdir build
        cd build
        qmake.exe ..\pam.pro -spec win32-msvc2015 "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG+=qml_debug"
        C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe qmake_all
        C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\jom.exe
