Separates "bin" and "build" at compile with Shadow Build
-
Hello everyone!
I work on a "big" project, with a lot of SubProjects, so I tried to keeping a clear files organization:
@
[Project Root]
├ 3rdparty
├ bin (Final executableS fileS, including DLL on Windows)
│ ├ linux
│ │ └ ...
│ ├ win32
│ │ ├ release
│ │ │ ├ SomeApp.exe
│ │ │ ├ AnotherApp.exe
│ │ │ ├ SomeDynamicLib.dll
│ │ │ └ ...
│ │ ├ debug
│ │ │ └ ...
│ │ └ tests
│ │ └ ...
│ └ ...
├ build (all object files, removed on a clean)
│ └ (same structure as "bin")
├ doc
├ include (project specific headers)
├ lib (lib*.a, lib*d.a)
├ src (Sources of apps and libs, including *.h)
│ ├ SomeApp
│ ├ AnotherApp
│ ├ SomeDynamicLib
│ └ ...
└ resource@I want to have the objects files out from sources' directory, so I use Shadow Build and I sets BuildDir pointing to "/Project's Root/build/".
The problem is that binary files (final apps and libs) are builds in this directory too.
Also, if I add "DESTDIR=/ProjectRoot/bin/" (so, out of the BuildDir path) in the .pro file , i get this error at compile."Makefile.Debug:74: error : multiple target patterns. Stop."
If I set BuildDir directly to the Project's Root, i can place binaries to /bin/, but when I compile, Qt creates (unwanted) directories that corresponds to sub projects at this place (then directly in the "Project's Root").
Does it exists a way to make what I want?
- Compiled binaries in bin/ (per exemple *.exe and *.dll on Windows)
- Objects files and makefiles in build/ (with the pre-quoted organization)
Thanks in advance

Stop using shadow building and it will work well:
@.pro
DESTDIR=bin
BUILDDIR=build
OBJECTS_DIR = $${BUILDDIR}
MOC_DIR = $${BUILDDIR}
RCC_DIR = $${BUILDDIR}
UI_DIR = $${BUILDDIR}
@Or use a more advanced example from one of my projects: "link":https://github.com/sierdzio/spdr/blob/master/definitions.pri.
