    Hi,

    I have a very simple problem : I want my dependencies to be cleaned when I clean my project.
    My project has its .pro file.
    My dependencies have their .pri file.

    A build all correctly triggers a build of the dependencies, in the correct configuration. So far so good.
    When I clean my project, no cleaning of the dependencies is triggered.
    Dependencies are libraries that are built using a Makefile generated by another IDE.
    How do I get my dependencies cleaned in the correct configuration when I clean my project ?

      Hi again.
      Am I missing something obvious or no solution is known so far to trigger a make clean for dependencies when a clean is asked from QtCreator ?

      If it is not possible the simple way, does someone has a clue to help me building something like :

      • I clean the project, thus touching a file per dependency. This is a signal « I want a clean ». One file per configuration (debug, release).
      • When I build the project, the pri depends on the above file, when it exists, a make clean is triggered and the file is deleted

      Adding scripts in the QtCreator project is acceptable. Adding scripts in the dependent projects would be possible, but I prefer not to.
      I tried using qmake « undocumented » features, but failed to use them correctly to achieve the above in a couple of hours.

      Any help appreciated.
