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

[nobodyhere]

This makes Qt Creator sound broken?  I mean, what's the point of having it generate your make files for you (in the .pro.user file), if you have to then rewrite them manually anyway (in the .pro file)?

No, we mean the .pro file. qmake's file format supports a lot of logic
there, including platform detection (scopes like win32, unix, and
macx). Never edit the .pro.user file and avoid using Creator's
built-in tools for changing the build settings -- do all the work
directly in the .pro file except for things that are SPECIFICALLY
relevant to only the checkout you're working on.
