[SOLVED] qmake: How to define 2 conditions for the same instruction

[xtingray]

Hi,

I am trying to define 2 conditions for the same instruction in my project.pro file, but it doesn't work. I have tried this syntax approach:
@
unix {
contains(DEFINES, K_DEBUG) {
SUBDIRS += debug
}
}
@

And this one:

@
contains(DEFINES, K_DEBUG) {
unix:SUBDIRS += debug
}
@

But it is not working. If I try both conditions in separated blocks, then it works.

So, what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to make it works?

Thanks for any hint or suggestion! :)

By the way, this is the content of my project.pro file:

@
TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS += interface

unix {
contains(DEFINES, K_DEBUG) {
SUBDIRS += debug
}
}
@

Hi,

Some qmake variables behave differently than others when conditionals are used. Could try the following trick?

@
unix {
contains(DEFINES, K_DEBUG) {
DEFINES += ADD_DEBUG_SUBDIR
}
}

contains(DEFINES, ADD_DEBUG_SUBDIR) {
SUBDIRS += debug
}
@

I still can't believe the way I got it to work. Look:

@
unix {
contains(DEFINES, K_DEBUG) {
SUBDIRS += debug
}
}
@

All I had to do was to remove the indentation spaces and now it works perfectly. I can't believe the syntax analyzer of qmake is so inflexible :(

Problem solved... but... jesus! :S

Would you consider submitting a bug report for qmake on the "bug tracker":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG ?

[xtingray]

Done! But the text editor of the bug tracker didn't help me to explain the problem, so I linked this thread.

Here is the ticket:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-43654

Thanks!

The editor there is in fact more capable. You can click the ? button below the editing window and see all the formatting options.

Ok, I enhanced the text... but what horrible text editor!!! (even with the help dialog). The user experience of this forum is much better!

After running several tests, it seems this bug finally was related to another hidden bug:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-491

Any way, thanks for your help! :)
