[Interest] passing something into subdirs qmake

How do you plan to set these?

If it's via command line (e.g. qmake CONFIG+= ...): This will be passed automatically to SUBDIRS projects.

If you somehow detect it otherwise: The common pattern here is to have the switch logic in a .pri file, and include it from all .pro files needing it.

Subject: [Interest] passing something into subdirs qmake

Hello,

I want to invent some convenient way to switch between two variations
of the same app. Current approach is to have 2 pro files with subdirs
inside.
The selected config is passed into subdirs like this:

product_var="MYAPP1=true"
write_file(".qmake.conf", product_var)

This is not reliable and confuses Qt Creator. Is there any other way
to pass something from pro files into subdirs dependencies?

Regards,
Vyacheslav
