Pass variables to qmake on the commandline


  • 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,
    -schwammerl

  • 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@
