[Qt-creator] Custom Build Step Problem

[Robert Caldecott]

Thanks for the reply but I think you've got the wrong end of the
stick.  The problem I have is that a custom build step in Qt Creator
MUST use a full absolute path to the location of the custom app you
want to run and there doesn't seem to be a way of using a relative
path instead (i.e. something relative to the folder where the .pro
file is installed).

The custom step works fine if I use the full path I mentioned (the
C:\Documents and Settings one) but this is no good when other people
want to check out and work on the same code (as this path won't be
valid on their machine.)

I need to be able to specify either a relative path or use an special;
environment variable that Qt Creator will add for me when building.
Hard coding paths is hardly good practice.  :)
