[QBS] QBS Rule Item: Code generation with multiple output files with variable names

[Sebastian Stadelmann]

Hi,

in our project we need to generates several „*.cpp“ and „*.h“ files from one input file ("*.db“).
In the input file we define a database table structure for multiple tables and generate one cpp class
for each table definition.
The name of the generated cpp files is not known before we start the code generator because the name
was defined in the input file.
Ex.: input: customer.db
output: parts.h, parts.cpp, orders.h, orders.cpp …
We also generate a text file with a list of all generated files. This text file has a defined name.

Is there a way to compile all generated files in the current product after running the code generator by appending the files from the
generated text file to the product files? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Sebastian
