[Qt-interest] qmake: Changing the destination directory of linker output

[Jeroen Wijnhout]

It is relatively straightforward, just set:
DESTDIR
and
OBJECTS_DIR

see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qmake-variable-reference.html

If you want to change the output path of the moc and uic output as
well, you have to set
UI_DIR and MOC_DIR as well.

I have been doing this for a long time and it works well.

best,
Jeroen
