"Qt No rule to make target" i cannot find the error

Exotic_Devel

When compiling my project I am getting the error:
:-1: error: No rule to make target libgui.a', needed by libdataaccess.a'. Stop.

I analyzed the files pro, but could not find the error.

main pro file:

@TEMPLATE = subdirs

I suspect that your build is not able to find PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$OUT_PWD/../gui/release/libgui.a. Just check this directory and library file.

Exotic_Devel

'libgui.a' does not exist in the directory because it has not yet been compiled. The project must first compile 'gui.pro' and then compile 'dataaccess.pro'. I think the compilation is not happening in that order.

Exotic_Devel

It was how I imagined it was a matter of build order. I made changes to 'Core.pro'

@TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS +=
gui
dataaccess
tests

CONFIG += ordered
@

The error stopped

dheerendra

Try to change the order of build like following ?

SUBDIRS +=
gui
tests
dataaccess

Exotic_Devel

Yes, it was changed, as shown in my last reply here. Already working.

Thank you for your help.

my bad. I did not pay attention to your last line. Please move this issue to SOLVED state by changing the question to SOLVED state.
