Makefile HEADERS-entry starting with # - question [solved]

zakarrrr

Hello,

i tried defining the headers-entry like this:

@HEADERS += # GLOBALS
globals/properties.h
...@

If the first line is a comment like this, qMake (tested only within qtCreator) removes the folder "header files" and gives an error :

<path to project>\src\src.pro:25: Error: Extra characters after test expression.

This

@HEADERS += globals/properties.h @

or this

@HEADERS +=
# GLOBALS
globals/classproperties.h
...@

are ok.

Is this a common issue or can be a bug?

Hi,

@
HEADERS += # GLOBALS << you are missing a backslash after +=
globals/properties.h
…

Hi,

i think i expected that the tokens will be parsed like in c/c++. Any spaces after the keyword should be ignored. But this is common i guess.

It's rather like the multiline string case, you need to tell the parser that there will be something following so it must continue to read

Ok, got it. Thanks.
