Adding .S file to Xcode target via qmake

[patrickkidd]

Hello!

It looks like adding a .S file to SOURCES in a .pro file does not add the file to the target in Xcode, when running qmake with “-spec macx-xcode.”

What is the correct way to add a .S file to the build target when creating and Xcode project with qmake?

See example qmake project linked here.

Thank you!

Hi,

I can't currently confirm it works for that mkspec but:

CONFIG -= qt
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = main.c

NASMEXTRAFLAGS = -f macho64
OTHER_FILES += $$NASM_SOURCES
nasm.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o
nasm.commands = nasm $$NASMEXTRAFLAGS -o ${QMAKE_FILE_BASE}.o ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME}
nasm.input = NASM_SOURCES

QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += nasm

NASM_SOURCES += darwin.S

Will build the .S file when using the default mkspec.

Hope it helps

Yeah, I saw that I but I think it is a good contribution to the thread. It doesn't work for the mac-xcode make spec, however. Or at least in the form posted above.

I read somewhere that .S files are yet-to-be preprocessed .s files. Maybe it's possible that Xcode automatically registers this .S file for pre-processing when added to the target via the gui and maybe qmake is not prepared for that? No idea.

From a quick look, the Xcode project generator doesn't handle .S files at all currently.

Crap. It's a simple checkbox to add it to the target in the gui, I wonder if there is some way to hack this.

Can you compare the original Xcode projects and the one with that checkbox ticked ?
