[Qt-interest] QMAKEFEATURES environment vs property.

[Gav Wood]

Hello all,

If I have a project file Test.pro:
   QMAKEFEATURES = /tmp
   CONFIG += myfeature
   TEMPLATE = ...
   ...

with a features file /tmp/myfeature.prf:
   message(Found)

then executing:

   qmake Test.pro

gives no output, but executing:

   QMAKEFEATURES=/tmp qmake Test.pro

gives the wanted output (Project MESSAGE: Found).

According to the docs qmake should check both values (the environment
and the property), though it seems it does not. Could someone explain
why?

Cheers,

Gav.
