Good to know - will have a look.

To be more precise on my actual problem - i had to execute a pre-build 
step (here: cppumaker of libreoffice). The tool executable requres some 
shared libs (*.so in Linux, *.dll in Windows) to be able to run. These are not 
in the search path.
Under Linux i had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, under Windows i have to extend 
the PATH variable.

I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the qmake file, but it did not work.

version control is currently not used here - but will be.

This is that dialog box when selecting the "Environment"-button ?
In the edit field - should i enter the values in the style
  <name>=<value>
?
 

The reason why i want the environment variables in the qmake file - you 
can build the project from command line.

kind regards
