[Qt-creator] Makefile.Debug is used for Release build

[David Ching]

Qt Creator 1.2.1 on Windows
Building project using Qt 4.5.3


1.  I have loaded a projects.pro which contains a SUBDIRS project:

---
TEMPLATE = subdirs
CONFIG += ordered
SUBDIRS += mylib/mylib.pro \
                      myapp/myapp.pro
---

2.  I set it to build the Release configuration by using the menu:  Build | 
Set Build Configuration | Release

3.  I start the build using the menu:  Build | Rebuild Project "projects". 
First, mylib is built.  The Compile output window shows:

cd mylib\ && "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" -f Makefile
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" -f 
Makefile.Debug


This is incorrect; Makefile.Debug is used, and Makefile.Release should have 
been used.


4.  Then myapp is built.  The Compile output window shows:

cd myapp\ && "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" -f Makefile.myapp
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" -f 
Makefile.mypp.Release


This time, the release makefile is correctly used.


What causes the .Debug makefile to be used instead of the .Release one?  The 
wrong one is being used, but only for one of the projects.  If it were a 
configuration issue, wouldn't the wrong one be used for both of the 
projects?


Thanks,
David
