qmake CONFIG variables with values

Marc_Van_Daele

Is it possible to add to CONFIG variables with values?

Eg something like

CONFIG += FOO=1

FOO==1 {
   message("foo is 1")
}

FOO==2 {
   message("foo is 2")
}

When doing so, I get the error Excess closing brace.

Obviously, I could use CONFIG += FOO1 and FOO1 {...} but I want to make sure that the values of FOO are exclusive and that

CONFIG += FOO=1
CONFIG += FOO=2

results in FOO==2.

Is this possible with qmake?

Hi,

AFAIK, no.

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve using CONFIG like that ?

Your code does not look like it needs to have that stored in CONFIG.

I want to build different assets from a single .pro file (so I want to set different SOURCES, INCLUDES, ...). CONFIG seemed to be the most 'logical' way to me.

However, I noticed that I can achieve what I want using the following snippet

FOO = 1
FOO = 2  

contains (FOO, 1) {
    message("FOO is 1")
}
contains (FOO, 2) {
    message("FOO is 2")
}

CONFIG is rather to enable features.

If you want control like that, your current solution is better.
