lconvert/lrelease as qmake custom targets

Max13

I have some translations to handle, lconvert to "export" qtbase_fr.qm to a Qt resource, and lrelease for the app's.

I successfully had them as build steps in Qt Creator, but I'd like to have them in the .pro file to avoid having to manually add build steps in Qt Creator.

The thing is, I'm having a hard time making qmake execute the target's commands. I'm getting make errors like: « No rule to make target 'i18n_app' ». The dependencies seem to be there, but not the commands to build them. I also tried with and without $$PWD for the 2 targets, just in case this was the reason why make doesn't find the rule...

Any idea, please?

Here is the latest .pro file
And here is the Makefile inside build/Desktop_Qt_5_15_2_clang_64bit-Debug/src

Hi,

For lrelease, you can use the CONFIG variable for that.

@SGaist Thanks for lrelease, but what am I missing about writing custom targets, as their commands don't appear as rules in Makefile (but appear as dependencies)?

SGaist

They seem to look good.

Which version of Qt are you using ?

Max13

@SGaist Qt 5.15.2 x64, Qt Creator 4.15.2, MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)

Would it be possible to have a minimal project to try that on my end so that we can work on the same base ?
