[Qt-interest] Qmake: specify destination dir with VS2008

[Johan Andersson]

Hi,
 
Thanks for your answer. Maybe I expressed myself a bit unclear. Anyway, I found a solution to my problem. I turned out that I need to point MOC_DIR (besides DESTDIR and OBJECTS_DIR)  to my new output directory to prevent qmake from generating debug and release directories in my projects root.
 
I also solved my other issue with the pdb and idb ending up in the wrong place. The following qmake snippet fixes that problem:
 
win32:QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += /Fd$(IntDir)
 
Regards,

You can really "solve" that. You will want the "Debug" and "Release" directories in the project root because that is where the compiler puts the intermediate files. I suspect what you want is to simply have the executables put in the "bin" directory. You will still have a problem because, based on this description, it looks like you are generating two binaries for each project, one in release mode and one in debug mode. Putting them all in one directory will lead to some unpleasant problems with inconsistent linkage.

Other than that I can't help, as I don't use qmake with VC2008, I just use the VC style project files directly.

	Hello,
 
I use qmake to generate a visual studio 2008 solution with 2 projects. I would like that all files generated by a build ends up in a directory called "bin", located in the solution folder (i.e. a sibling to the project folders). Using the DESTDIR and OBJECTS_DIR variables don't work. Qmake still generate 2 directories, "debug" and "release" in each project root. When each project is built 2 files are generated and placed in the project root, vc90.pdb and vc90.idb. Is there someway to solve this?
