[Qt-interest] Makefile rules in .pro file?

[Phil Dumont]

I've got it working *almost* perfectly.

My .pro file looks something like this:

QT -= gui
TARGET = myapp
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += myapp.cpp

HEADERS += myapp.h \
    myapp_gen.h

gensrc.target = myapp_gen.h
gensrc.depends = gen_header.py myapp.ini
gensrc.commands = gen_header.py

QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += gensrc
PRE_TARGETDEPS += myapp_gen.h


The only thing keeping me from being completely happy is, when I run qmake,
it complains thusly:

WARNING: Failure to find: myapp_gen.h


Ordinarily, qmake complaining about a missing header would be good.  But
under current circumstances, not so much.  Is there any way to turn it off?
 Alternatively, I could throw a message() in the .pro file that tells the
next person to build the project (maybe even me, after I've had long enough
to forget) that the ominous looking message is nothing to worry about.  But
that wouldn't be quite a clean.

Anyway, despite the warning, the Makefile is generated, and does the right
thing.
