Mulltiple configurations in Qt
- by user360607
Hi all!
I'm new to Qt Creator and I have several questions regarding multiple build configurations.
A side note: I have the QtCreator 1.3.1 installed on my Linux machine.
I need to have two configurations in my Qt Creator project. The thing is that these aren't simply debug and release but are based on the target architecture - x86 or x64. I came across
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2259192/building-multiple-targets-in-qt-qmake
and from that I went trying something like:
Conf_x86 {
TARGET = MyApp_x86
}
Conf_x64 {
TARGET = MyApp_x64
}
This way however I don't seems to be able to use the Qt Creator IDE to build each of these separately (Build All, Rebuild All, etc. options from the IDE menu). Is there a way to achieve this - may be even show Conf_x86 and Conf_x64 as new build configurations in Qt Creator?
One other thing the Qt I have is 64 bit so by default the target built using Qt Creator IDE will also be 64 bit. I noticed that the effective qmake call in the build step includes the following option '-spec linux-g++-64'. I also noticed that should I add '-spec linux-g++-32' in 'Additional arguments' it would override '-spec linux-g++-64' and the resulting target will be 32 bit. How can I achieve this by simply editing the contents of the .pro file? I saw that all these changes are initially saved in the .pro.user file but does doesn't suit me at all. I need to be able to make these configurations from the .pro file if possible.
Any help will be appreciated.
10x in advance!
