    I have a subdirs project and a custom build step that needs to be executed after one of the subprojects is already build but before another subproject begin building.

    So what's need to happen is:

    1. qmake on sub1.pro and make
    2. my custom build step
    3. qmake on sub2.pro and make

    For now I just open the projects separately and build them by hand in order... but the build takes some time so this is inconvenient and in reality there is more than only 3 steps so I created two subdirs pro files but that's just ugly.

    Custom qmake steps for each subproject's pro file? What's the elegant solution?

      Hi,

      What does your custom build step need to do ?

        @SGaist said in Subdirs project with custom step between projects?:

        Hi,

        What does your custom build step need to do ?

        It builds Godot module with SCons, this module needs the first subproject (non-Qt shared library). The third subproject is tests for the library written with Qt. It all warks together well, just I have to compile everything in order, using separate PRO files. There are also some other things in the subproject but not really important.

          In that case, wouldn't it be simpler to do that with cmake ?

            Probably... I'm just so used to qmake I didn't even consider it. Now that Qt6 will use cmake anyway, maybe it's time to learn... so, what I want is impossible in a way I wanted it, yes?

              You could have a third subdirs project that handles the intermediate build between the two others.
