The complete scope as used by qmake

koahnig

Most of us came across different scopes in .profiles already.

The typical example is the distinction between different OS e.g.:

win32:message ("blabla")
linux:message("bliblo")
linux-*:message("whatsthis")

As shown in the example there is a way to use wildcards. The example allows the distinction between windows and linux desktops and the last one is the scope for cross-compiling for a linux embedded platform.

For avoiding confusion I like to know what the actual scope is in complete?

What would be the way to find out?

I found a solution with QMAKESPEC

message("SPEC         " $$QMAKESPEC)
message("SPEC         " $$basename(QMAKESPEC))

The output is for instance:

Project MESSAGE: QMAKESPEC     C:/Qt/5.4/mingw491_32/mkspecs/win32-g++
Project MESSAGE: SPEC          win32-g++

or on linux

Project MESSAGE: QMAKESPEC      /home/bloblo/Qt/5.9.1/gcc_64/mkspecs/linux-g++
Project MESSAGE: SPEC           linux-g++
