Using Subdirs

ajm24

Hi, I have a project structured in the following way
@
Root /
Server /
Library /
build /
debug/
release/
code /
.cpp, .h, .pro files
resources /
resource files
Process /
build /
debug/
release/
code /
.cpp, .h, .pro files
resources /
resource files
Client /
API /
build /
debug/
release/
code /
.cpp, .h, .pro files
resources /
resource files
Client /
build /
debug/
release/
code /
.cpp, .h, .pro files
resources /
resource files

I am wondering if it possible to keep this structure and use a subdirs template at the same time. From what I have seen I can't find a way to change the target of where the subdirs build too. For example I have the following in my .pro file(which is in my root directory):

@
TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS =
Server/Library/code/Library.pro
Server/Process/code/Process.pro
Client/API/code/API.pro
Client/API/code/Client.pro \

Library.subdir = Server/Library/code/Library.pro

Process.subdir = Server/Process/code/Process.pro
Process.depends = Library

API.subdir = Client/API/code/API.pro
API.depends = Library

Client.subdir = Client/API/code/Client.pro
Client.depends = Library API
@

When I run something like this, the debug and release folder are created in the same directory as the .pro file of each project(the code folder), is there a way I can tell it to build everything in the build folder? If not is there an easy way to make a something that will compile each of my projects in the correct order?

Thanks!

Hope someone has an idea, looking for something similar.

What I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is that you want to specify a common build directory for each sub-target. Have you tried to specify a DESTDIR (like ../../build) in each sub-target .PRO file?

Did you try using Shadow-Build?
