Unsolved How to run lupdate with a QMAKE CONFIG?
-
I posted the same question on stackoverflow after a few days:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58029996/how-to-run-qts-lupdate-tool-with-a-qmake-config
.
.
.
.
I use such a construct in my project files:
LANGUAGES = de TRANSLATION_NAME = authorization include(../../gen_translations.pri)
where
gen_translations.pri
looks like so:# parameters: var, prepend, append defineReplace(prependAll) { for(a,$$1):result += $$2$${a}$$3 return($$result) } TRANSLATIONS = $$prependAll(LANGUAGES, $$PWD/libs/$$TRANSLATION_NAME/translations/lib$${TRANSLATION_NAME}_, .ts) TRANSLATIONS_FILES = qtPrepareTool(LRELEASE, lrelease) for(tsfile, TRANSLATIONS) { qmfile = $$shadowed($$tsfile) qmfile ~= s,.ts$,.qm, qmdir = $$dirname(qmfile) !exists($$qmdir) { mkpath($$qmdir)|error("Aborting.") } command = $$LRELEASE -removeidentical $$tsfile -qm $$qmfile system($$command)|error("Failed to run: $$command") TRANSLATIONS_FILES += $$qmfile } for(qmentry, $$list($$TRANSLATIONS_FILES)) { qmpath = $$OUT_PWD/../translations qmpathname = $$replace(qmpath,/,) qmpathname = $$replace(qmpathname,\.,) qmpathname = $$replace(qmpathname,:,) qmpathname = $$replace(qmpathname," ",) qmentity = qmfiles_$${qmpathname} eval($${qmentity}.files += $$qmentry) eval($${qmentity}.path = $$qmpath) INSTALLS *= $${qmentity} }
It generates the
*.qm
files for me and moves them to a defined location withmake install
.I do not want qmake to execute that whole stuff for each build on my developing machine. Therefore I want to make the stuff conditional by wrapping it for qmake:
translate{ LANGUAGES = de TRANSLATION_NAME = authorization include(../../gen_translations.pri) }
That way I can decide when I want to get
*.qm
files and when not.
But then I am unable to runlupdate
on the project file because it is blocked by that conditional.I am sure, that someone has a better idea to accomplish the task.
Thanks in advance.
