[Qt-creator] Control where the compiled object files go?

[Stephen Chu]

Thanks. That's what I am looking for. So I added these lines to my pro 
file:

CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
   macx:CONFIG += x86 ppc
   BUILD_NAME = release
} else {
   BUILD_NAME = debug
}
macx:PLATFORM_NAME = mac
win32:PLATFORM_NAME = win

DESTDIR = ./$$BUILD_NAME/$$PLATFORM_NAME
OBJECTS_DIR = $$DESTDIR

And it works.

The odd part is if I use CONFIG(debug) it's always invoked in both debug 
and release builds. Same with CONFIG(release). I have to use 
CONFIG(release, debug|release) and else to make it work.
