[Qt-creator] specifying QMAKE_CXXFLAGS in the build configuration

[Lorenzo Bettini]

Hi

I have a specific build configuration where I'd like to specify a -D 
compiler option with a variable and a value with spaces.

Please note that I do not want to use DEFINES in the .pro file, since 
I'd like to specify this value only in a build configuration

I set

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="-DMY_VAR=my value"

now, I don't understand how to use the quotations correctly in the 
"Build Steps" dialog in qt-creator...

on the command line, I would run qmake as follows

qmake QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="-DMY_VAR=\\\"\\\\\\\"my value\\\\\\\"\\\"" 
../myproj/myproj.pro

and it would work...

if I try to set in the "Build Steps" dialog, in qmake additional arguments,

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="-DMY_VAR=\\\"\\\\\\\"my value\\\\\\\"\\\""

all the double quotes are removed in the "effective qmake call"...

any clue please?

thanks in advance
	Lorenzo
