$$PWD is not correct in a network-map driver

[QtTester]

Hi ,guys:
here is my file structure in Windows10:

MyProjectRootDirectory
--MainExe
----MainExe.pro
----Project.pri
--Config.pri
--LibConfig.pri

in Config.pri ,it will include Project.pri like this:

include($$PWD/MainExe/Project.pri)

it works in my local computer, named A.
when I works on another computer,named B, and map the project root directory to B's Driver as Z: , and recompile the MainExe.pro, it shows error:

Cannot read Z:/MainExe/MainExe/Project.pri: No such file or directory

use message($$PWD) it says:

Z:\MainExe

but it should be:

Z:\

when copy the project files to computer B's local driver ,like D:\, it works fine again.

So, why $$PWD is not correct shown in a network-map driver???

if we change it to a relative directory, some include path may not work neither, we prefer absolute path.

@QtTester said in $PWD is not correct in a network-map driver:

and map the project root directory to B's Driver as Z:

One possibility: under Windows each drive maintains its own current directory on that drive. I don't know whether this is used by the build process. Assuming you can build from a Command Prompt, prior to doing so if you go

Z:
cd \
rem Or:
cd /d Z:\

and then build does this make any difference?

I wonder if _PRO_FILE_PWD_ would work any better for you.
