I have the following .pro file

QT -= gui

TEMPLATE = lib

CONFIG += c++11

DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

PROTOS += \
        protos/api.proto \

include(protobuf.pri)

with the follwing .pri file

message("Generating protocol buffer classes from .proto files.")

protobuf_decl.name = protobuf headers
protobuf_decl.input = PROTOS
protobuf_decl.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_PATH}/${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.pb.h
protobuf_decl.commands = protoc --cpp_out=${QMAKE_FILE_IN_PATH} --proto_path=${QMAKE_FILE_IN_PATH} ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME}
protobuf_decl.variable_out = HEADERS
QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += protobuf_decl

protobuf_impl.name = protobuf sources
protobuf_impl.input = PROTOS
protobuf_impl.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_PATH}/${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.pb.cc
protobuf_impl.depends = ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_PATH}/${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.pb.h
protobuf_impl.commands = $$escape_expand(\n)
protobuf_impl.variable_out = SOURCES
QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += protobuf_impl

Everything is working fine, but I would like to have the .pb.h and the .pb.cc files in a different directory (in ../). How can I achieve this?

Hi,

Modify the protobuf_decl.output, protobuf_impl.output and protobuf_impl.depends paths to point to where you want.
