qmake : warning: No rule to make target Stop.

I have a project which has an app and test. Both App and test depends on a common lib (which is submodule for the app). Here is my project structure.

|
|_ _Application.pro
|_ _App/app.pro
|_ _lib/lib.pro
|_ _TestSuite/
             |_ _Test.pro

#Application.pro 


TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS +=  app \
            lib

#subdirs
lib.file = $${PWD}/lib/lib.pro
app.file = $${PWD}/App/app.pro

#dependecies
app.depends  =  lib

QMAKE_CLEAN += $${OUT_PWD}/Makefile*

#Test.pro 


TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS +=  Test \
            lib

#subdirs
lib.file = $${PWD}/../lib/lib.pro
app.file = $${PWD}/TestSuite/Test.pro

#dependecies
Test.depends  =  lib

QMAKE_CLEAN += $${OUT_PWD}/Makefile*

The application compiles fine, but when I run make on test it throws No rule to make target lib.pro needed by Test.pro Stop error.

If I copy the lib files under TestSuite then it works perfectly. So is it mandatory that subdirs should a subdirectory of the current application?

Hi,

AFAIR, yes, but you are setting the dependency on the wrong level.

In your top level folder, TestSuite should depend on lib like app does.
