Specify directories for UIC, MOC, and Object Files for each Module in an Application
-
Greetings.
I have an application composed of several modules. Each module is in a different namespace, and the source files of each module are grouped into subdirectories with the name of the corresponding namespace.
For example: a module that implements operations of mathematical morphology is in the namespace "Morph". All class files (.h, .cpp, etc.) of this module are in the "morph" subdirectory within the application's home directory.
In this way, there are different classes that have the same name, but belong to different namespaces and subdirectories. As there are classes of the same name however, I have problems compiling since the outputs of uic and moc for different classes are written to the same file (there is overwriting). The same happens with object files (.o) corresponding to two classes of the same name.
I want to know how to specify different subdirectories for the outputs of the uic, moc and object files for each class in my application.
Currently all the output of the uic, moc and files object of my application go the directories named "uic", "moc" and "obj". In particular, I would like to be able to specify (within each of those three previous directories) subdirectories with the names of the modules in my application.
In principle, is it possible ?, How to specify that in my project file (.pro)?
What other options exist to handle this problem?Thank you in advance for any help and/or suggestion.

Hi,
Can you show your current .pro file ?
-
The file is a bit long. The classes that are called the same are AppDlg and ConfDlg. They belong to the modules "Morph" and "Sgm".

Then use
CONFIG += object_parallel_to_source -
Okay, but
Can you give me some explanation (or some link to study) about it?
-
-
I continue to have problems compiling. Warnings of type:
Ignoring old recipe for target 'moc/moc_AppDlg.cpp'
Overriding recipe for target 'moc/moc_AppDlg.cpp'In addition to several related errors: The member functions of Morph::AppDlg are not defined.
-
Did you re-run qmake or do a clean re-build (i.e. nuke the shadow-build folder) after adding the
CONFIGoption ? -
Yes. I deleted the shadow-build folder, and rebuilt the application. I continue to get errors/warnings mentioned above.
I'm working with Qt 4.8.6 and Qt Creator 2.5.2 (I do not know if that influences).
-
Oh yes, that influences greatly since
object_parallel_to_sourceis Qt 5 feature.Are you locked to that old version of Qt ?
-
Yes, at least temporarily I am required to work with Qt 4.8.6.
Is there any option to get that same functionality in the Qt version I'm working with?
-
If you are building Qt yourself, you could try to back port the patch.
-
I'm not building Qt by myself.
I wonder if there is any way (set of instructions specified in the .pro file, maybe something like what I used under the comment #Instalacion), in Qt 4.8.6, to achieve something similar to the functionality of the object_parallel_to_source option; or something that allows me to have two classes of the same name in my project.
Can you do such a thing?
-
You can use
object_with_sourceBUT (and it's a big one) you lose the ability to do out of source builds.On a side note, Qt 4.8.6 is not the latest of the Qt 4 series, there's Qt 4.8.7.
-
I will try to use object_with_source.
On the other hand, I wonder if it will be possible to manually emulate (with instructions in the .pro file, with some script, or something like that) the functionality of the object_parallel_to_source option.
-
I'd say highly unlikely. Note that you could also try with cmake rather than qmake.
