[Qt-creator] build settings for cross platform? multiple svn checkouts on each development computer

[nobodyhere]

Below is some info I found when I started googling for (qt creator .pro .pro.user), instead of just (qt creator build settings)

So definitely plenty of other people are running into this too...

Because all these settings are stored in a special .pro.user file that cannot be placed under version control because it contains hard-coded paths! I really dislike the 'session' system and want *all* build rules inside the .pro file instead. That way my team can check out a project and build the whole thing without first messing with Qt Creator's Project settings. This is a hot topic on the Qt Creator mailing list BTW - I am not alone in wishing for better subdirs and dependency support. :)

You mean edit and (svn commit) the project's ".pro.user" file?  (Not the project's ".pro" file?)

And the .pro file has hardcoded / absolute paths in it, so how does this let me do a simple (svn checkout and build that just works, with the exact same .pro.user file) for (multiple computers) and (multiple checkouts on the same computer)?

Is it required to manually edit the .pro.user XML file's text?

thank you for any leads

Set you build settings, project directories and platform-specific configs in the .pro file.

Unfortunately, I had to create a new set of build settings to get it to build / compile?  But it seems to be storing this build settings stuff in the [project].pro.user file, with absolute paths?
