<![CDATA[Set output dir in .pro file]]>Hello.
Can someone tell me is it possible to set in .pro file for the .exe file to be create in the same directory as the source?

The SUBDIRS is the BEST you can do.

The projects might still be in different Git repositories, but with Git submodule and Qt SUBDIRS you get the maximum productivity and flexibility.

My question was: is that library and the application parts of a project using the subdirs template or are they completely separated projects ? The INCLUDEPATH line suggests the former.

The goal which I want to achieve, is for the Application which depends on a library remove the hardcoded path to the library path of where it is built.
MainProject.pro

INCLUDEPATH += "../LibFile"
LIBS += "C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\build-LibFile-Desktop_Qt_5_11_1_MinGW_32bit-Debug\debug\libLibFile.a

The easiest is to not use the Shadow Build feature of Qt Creator.

However this also means that you will have all build artefacts in your sources which is something that you usually want to avoid.
