[SOLVED]Write QMAKE replace function

loladiro

You'll have to show how you use it.

Franzk

@defineReplace(getLibraryName) {
NAME = $$1
return ($$quote(${PROJECT}.$$NAME))
}@

works fine. The problem mainly is that PROJECT isn't something qmake sets. What do you expect PROJECT to return? The project name? If I have the following:
@PROJECT = gnarl
defineReplace(getLibraryName) {
NAME = $$1
return ($$quote(${PROJECT}.$$NAME))
}

message($$getLibraryName(huuhaa.dll))@

I get
@Project MESSAGE: gnarl.huuhaa.dll@
as output.

If I don't set PROJECT, I get
@Project MESSAGE: .huuhaa.dll@
which indicates qmake doesn't do anything with the variable.

loladiro

He said he gets:
@LibraryName.dll@
not
@.LibraryName.dll@
which indicates to me that he is not using it properly.

I am using it:
@TARGET = $$getLibraryName(LibraryProject)@
Yes, the variable $$PROJECT is set up (in .pri file, where is also defined that function)

Franzk

Is PROJECT set before you define the function?

Peppy

yes, it is.

loladiro

See what you get with
@message($$TARGET)@

Peppy

well...nothing. It is empty...

Peppy

I tried:
@message($$TARGET)
message($$setLibraryTarget(Configuration))
@
Both are NULL (empty)...

loladiro

Before or after you use
@TARGET = $$getLibraryName(LibraryProject)@
How is setLibraryTarget defined?

Peppy

Used in Library project:
@include(../../../Project.pri)
QT += xml xmlpatterns

TARGET = $$setLibraryTarget(Configuration)
@

Defined in project include file ( .pri )
@defineReplace(setLibraryTarget){ NAME = $$1 return($$quote(${SYDNEYSTUDIO_PROJECT_NAME}.$$NAME)) }@

Well, when I removed Makefile and wrote is on multi-lines, it works...thanks for help.

So solution is, do not write QMAKE function as inline :D :D

But, there is another problem with my QMAKE (new thread?)
