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

[Robert Caldecott]

I had a similar problem before and deleted the .pro.user file and all
was well...

2009/10/5 David Ching <dc at remove-this.dcsoft.com>:
> Update:  If I delete mylib\Makefile* before doing #3 (Build | Rebuild
> Project "projects" ), then the correct Release version is built!  There are
> 3 makefiles that are generated in the mylib\ folder:
>
>  Makefile
>  Makefile.Release
>  Makefile.Debug
>
> In the Makefile, it has:
>
>  # Command: c:\qt\4.5.3-vc\bin\qmake.exe -spec
> c:\Qt\4.5.3-vc\mkspecs\win32-msvc2005 -win32 CONFIG+=release
> CONFIG-=debug -o Makefile mylib.pro
>
> (I added the CONFIG-=debug in the Projects screen of QtCreator.  This
> business of both release and debug being defined is somehow screwing up Qt
> Creator, I think.)

> Any tips on getting this to work without having to delete the Makefiles
