    I want to do something like this, QMAKE_CLEAN += QMAKE_DEL_DIR($(MOC_DIR)) /S /Q, so that it cleans up all the files on Windows so that it generates it in the .vcxproj file. In this case MOC_DIR maps to the ../temp directory. It is tricky getting this to work & the answer likely is a semantic error. TIA. BTW, I am using Qt 5.15.

      Try good old message debugging ;-)

      QMAKE_CLEAN += QMAKE_DEL_DIR($(MOC_DIR)) /S /Q
      message($${QMAKE_CLEAN})
      

      the answer likely is a semantic error.

      Yeah, qmake is very sensitive to those. Things to try:

      • use double dollar sign and curly brackets QMAKE_DEL_DIR($${MOC_DIR}) /S /Q
      • escape slashes
