How to get qmake to support assembly language?

[Publicnamer]

I'm trying to get qmake to support building some asm files. So far, no luck.

My code looks like this:

        ASM_FILES += myfile.asm
        ASMEXTRAFLAGS = -march=armv8-a
        QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += as
        as.commands = as $$ASMEXTRAFLAGS -o ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME}
        as.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o
        as.input = $ASM_FILES
        OTHER_FILES += $$ASM_SOURCES
        QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += myfile.o

The "as" command is never run to generate myfile.o.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks.

Hi,

I would recommend starting by following the new_moc example from the documentation more closely.

Also, I would not use the exact same name for the compiler declaration as the command name.

@Publicnamer:
i am not sure but i think you must write this line after you filled the as variable

QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += as

i think qmake isn't using references of variables

OK thanks, here's what I found works:

	ASM_FILES += myfile.asm
	ASMEXTRAFLAGS = -march=armv8-a
	QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += myfile.o
	asm.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o
	asm.commands = as $$ASMEXTRAFLAGS -o ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME}
	asm.input = ASM_FILES
	QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += asm
