<![CDATA[[Solved] qmake stuck in infinite loop]]>Hi there.

I'm experiencing quite strange behaviour of qmake on Windows 7.

I have 3 .pro projects that share some common code, and that code is taken out to a separate .pri project. It is included like this:
@include(../common/common.pri)@

Now, when I try to build these projects on Windows, I get this:
@

This happens occasionly, but only on Windows. On linux it builds without any problems.

Has anybody experienced this? Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

All of this when compiling from a MSYS console.
