Make qmake not deploy .pdb files

Karmo

Hello,

Question about qmake target and INSTALLS variables. I have a library project and the .pro file contains:

QT       -= core gui

TARGET = testlib
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += shared

SOURCES += \
        Testlib.cpp

HEADERS += \
        Testlib.h

target.path = /Test
INSTALLS += target

When I run "nmake install", it deploys .lib, .dll and .pdb files. I would like to build with debug info but deploy without debug info. How would I tell INSTALLS not to deploy .pdb files?

QT       -= core gui

TARGET = testlib
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += shared debug_and_release

SOURCES += \
        Testlib.cpp

HEADERS += \
        Testlib.h
CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
target.path = /Test
INSTALLS += target
}

P.S.
testlib is already the name of a Qt module. To avoid name confusion, consider changing your target name

Thanks but this is not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm building in Release mode and have checked the "Generate separate debug info" under Qt Creator Projects (which adds "CONFIG+=force_debug_info" "CONFIG+=separate_debug_info").

I would like to build a Release mode dll with debug info (pdb will be used to analyze minidumps in case of crashes). I just don't want to deploy the pdb file with "nmake install", this would make my build script easier.

I'm pretty sure qmake is not flexible enough to do this but I'd be happy to be wrong
