DESTDIR for libraries on linux
-
On windows I am using DESTDIR within qmake for placing libraries and dlls in a specific folder.
When using this on Ubuntu 16.04 only libxxxx.so.1.0.0 is being moved and the creation of the different links triggers an error message. As a result only libxxxx.so.1.0.0 is being moved to the destination and the exact complete file name of the library has to be used when linking with the library.
Is there a better way than using DESTDIR? -
Hi,
Sounds strange... can you show your .pro file ?

Thanks for feedback.
I wasn't sure if there is a linux issue I am not aware off.
The .pro is quite complicated. However, as I found out it is not the .pro and the complexity. The problem stems from opening the project in a shared folder through Virtual Box. The build will reside then also on the shared folder, which is a windows managed file partition on a HD. DESTDIR was already on a pure linux partition, but there wasn't the problem.
Anyway copying the complete set of folders to the linux partition solves apparently the problem.
It is never a good idea to mix too much Windows and Linux. ;)

Indeed, it's usually better to have git in between these two.
