[Qt-interest] Fwd: Project directory tree with test code subtree (TDD)

[ami guru]

Hello Islam


Yes you can configure   the qmake to generate the Makefile the way you want.

you need to go through  the following section
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qmake-manual.html

And you can also download some free qt application from

http://www.qt-apps.org/


to get the feeling of how those projects have been configured, may be a good
hint to get started.


Hope that helps

Subject: [Qt-interest] Project directory tree with test code subtree (TDD)
To: qt-interest at trolltech.com


Hello Everybody,

I am trying to create a new _large_ project with Qt. I want to do unit
testing for every class I have in this project (sort of TDD). I am
asking about how to use 'qmake' in such scenario?

My hierarchy may look something like this:

trunk----> src -->
     |
     --> test -->

I want the 'test' tree to mirror that of the 'src' tree. What I want to
have is to be able to call 'qmake' then 'make' under _any_ directory in
the 'test' tree and have the Makefile automatically _link_ (not compile)
the needed *.o files from the 'src' tree (i.e. the object code of the
classes I am currently testing). I assume here that the *.o files
actually exist in their proper place under the 'src' tree.

In short: I want the Makefile to _link_ some additional object files
from another directory other than the current build directory!!

Is this a possible setup for the project using 'qmake'? If not, what is
the perfect setup for TDD with Qt and 'qmake'? Any help on this is
largely appreciated!

Best regards,
Islam
