Pass variables to qmake on the commandline

[schwammerl]

Hi,

I do crosscompiling linux/x86_64->linux/armv7 with openbricks.
Please not that I am building qt itself, not a project that is using qt.
This works, but produces one specific compiler warning over and over again.

This phenomenon is known and not really a problem.
Although it occupies a lot of terminal real estate and therefore I want to get rid of it.
This can be done by passing "-Wno-psabi" to g++.
I tried to do that my passing "-after QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-Wno-psabi" to qmake in the build script for qt that openbricks provides, see [1].

Unfortunately this does not have the desired effect, it has no effect at all for the affected compiler calls.
How do I do that correctly?
Any hints appreciated.
Thanks advance.

Kind regards,

I don't know if you copied code correctly, but in your pro file you should not write:
@
-after QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-Wno-psabi
@
Correct is:
@
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-Wno-psabi

I do not have a .pro file.
Did you notice that I am building qt itself and not a project that is using qt?

I did not find a real solution.
Therefore I added the following to configure.
@QMakeVar add QMAKE_CXXFLAGS -Wno-psabi@
