[Qt-interest] QMake...

[BRM]

Hm...yeah that's a rather nasty hack. I can avoid that one.

I've been trying to find the QMAKE variable for the target output - in my case, libraries (mostly static, but some dynamic at some point too).

Basically, on some projects it's okay to do:

QMAKE_CLEAN *= $$DESTDIR/*

But on others, there may be more than one project putting its file there, and I'd like to limit it to just the files that project puts there - which could be a library file and a PRL file.

I'm aware of the TARGET variable, but it doesn't give me what I want.

(Also, I'm working on Qt4.5, not 4.6 but I'm not sure that really makes much difference on this one.)

Ben

QMAKE_DISTCLEAN += $$DESTDIR/*
