Problems with .pro file some help?

stamp

Hello,
so here is the problem:
i have an application in which i am creating a dll with .cpp and .h files and a dllmain.cpp file i have a .pro file and
a .pri file. in the pri file i include the mentioned above two .cpp and .h files. also i am workin with QT 5.4 and qt Creator.
In the dll iam using a third party library that needs to be included in the dll so it can work. the question is how to do it in the pro file also i need to somehow determen wheter or not to use the 64 bit or 32 bit version of the dll so i need some kind of macros in the pro file to check it in run time or compile time if its 32 or 64 bit. so this is the second problem. I would appreciate if you give me an examples how to do it and dont give me links to the documantation i have searched a lot.
thanks in advance.

hi and welcome
You mean something like ?

CONFIG += 32bit

CONFIG(32bit) {
TARGET = 32bit_binary
LIBS += -L<path to 32bit libraries>
}
CONFIG(64bit) {
TARGET = 64bit_binary
LIBS += -L<path to 64bit libraries>
}

I think the correct way is

contains(QMAKE_TARGET.arch, x86_64){
   # it's 64 bit
}
else{
   # it's 32 bit
}

This goes in the .pro file

I think the correct way is ... QMAKE_TARGET ...

The qmake manual show's something very similar, but using QMAKE_HOST instead:

win32-g++:contains(QMAKE_HOST.arch, x86_64):{
    message("Host is 64bit")
    ...
}

In this case, @stamp would probably want to drop the win32-g++ condition (if he's using msvc).

Cheers.

That won't work if you are cross compiling, see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-9160 I still think QMAKE_TARGET is better
