    I am on a mac and have a user directory at this location:

    /Users/kloveridge

    If I were on someone elses computer, I might be at

    /Users/jhatch

    the problem I have in my QMake file is we share a common directory starting at the root of their user directory such as:

    @/Users/kloveride/project
    /Users/jhatch/project@

    In my QMake file I want to define I need a variable that does something like this:

    @$$USERROOT/project@

    I know this has to be something easy to do, but I can't find it! Can someone give me a hint where to find this?

      Hi,

      Do you mean something like $HOME environment variable ?
