[Development] Qmake variable for iOS

[Shobana Suresh]

Hi Tor Arne,

I have a few libraries compiled for phone and simulator.

I want to add condition checks in my application's .pro file, to link to the correct libs based on the architecture the application is compiled for.

I would basically want to do something like this,

ios: {

    iphonesimulator {

      LIBS += \

        -L/Users/XXX/MyLib/ios_simulator

    }

    iphoneos {

      LIBS += \

        -L/Users/XXX/MyLib/ios_armv7

    }

    CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {

      LIBS += -lMyLibd

    } else {

      LIBS += -lMyLib

    }

}

Regards

Shobana

Out of curiosity, what's the use case here for doing stuff for simulator
only in the project file? Is it to set a define you can use in the sources?
