[Qt-interest] qmake and customizing the target name of the library when using template "lib"

Hi Oliver,

thanks for the input.

I was also thinking about this already.


Since I already have a self-written master Makefile, I currently do
something with brutal force:

The .pro file contains:

...
CONFIG += no_autoqmake
TARGET = temporaryModuleNameWhichWillBeReplaced
...


My master Makefile has a static rule to build Qt Makefile from the .pro
files:


MakefileQM% : %.pro
	qmake $<
	sed -i -e "s/libtemporaryModuleNameWhichWillBeReplaced.so/mod_$*.lo/g" $@



Thus, I disable the ability of the Qt Makefile to regenerate itself and
do the job on my own in the master Makefile. By editing the resulting Qt
Makefile with sed I end up with the target library name
"mod_MyPlugin.lo" when the name of the project file is MyPlugin.pro. ($*
represents the stem of the static Makefile rule).
