[Qt-interest] qmake Visual Studio project generation target name

[Jiawen Chen]

Hi,

	I have a few questions regarding qmake's visual studio project 
generation ability.

0. Is there an easy way to generate a visual studio project that has a 
64-bit configuration?  It doesn't look too difficult to add since the 
settings (nodes in the xml .vcproj file) are almost identical.  Maybe 
just add a x64 switch to qmake or put it inside the .pro file.  Right 
now, every time I re-generate the .vcproj, I have to open it in visual 
studio and add a new solution configuration.  Worse, if the .sln already 
exists, and the .vcproj is re-generated, visual studio freaks out and 
doesn't build the x64 version of the project.  I have to delete the x64 
configuration and recreate it.  One hack I found on the web at 
http://www.xuvtools.org/doku.php?id=devel:compile-win is:

PROJECTFILES=$(find . -name \*cproj -o -name \*sln)
perl -pi -e 's/Name="Win32"/Name="x64"/g;s/\|Win32/\|x64/g' ${PROJECTFILES}

1. I'm using the Intel C++ compiler on Windows and compiled Qt using the 
win32-icc QMAKESPEC, which works great.  qmake doesn't seem to like 
QMAKESPEC=win32-icc, when I do "qmake -t vcapp foo.pro" or "qmake -t 
vclib foo.pro", it creates "foo.dsp", which appears to be a Visual 
Studio 6.0 (!) project.  Any suggestions on how to handle this?

Ideally, since the Intel C++ compiler comes with a Visual Studio plugin, 
which creates a .icproj file from a .vcproj file and lets the user 
switch between using Microsoft vs Intel C++ compilers, qmake should be 
able to generate both the .vcproj file and a .icproj file.  I guess 
that's a pipe dream.

2. Finally, a rather silly last question.  I'm building a static 
library, which due to multiple C library syndrome, needs to have two 
different target names.  I would like the debug version to be called 
"libcgtd.lib" and the release version to be called "libcgt.lib".  I have 
libcgt.pro set up as:

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += qt thread debug_and_release staticlib

CONFIG( debug, debug|release ) {
   TARGET = libcgtd
} else {
   TARGET = libcgt
}

...

In makefile mode, it works fine.  Unfortunately, when I generate 
projects with "qmake -t vclib", it generates libcgtd.vcproj.  If I try 
to force it with "qmake -t vclib -o libcgt.vcproj", when I open it in 
Visual Studio, the project name is still "libcgtd".  In the XML file, 
under <VisualStudioProject> the Name attribute is still "libcgtd".  Is 
there a way to force it to grab the default name?

Cheers,
