qmake : No rule to make target Stop.

[Venkateswaran]

I have a project which has an app and test. Both App and test depends on a common lib (which is submodule for the app). Here is my project structure.

|
|_ _Application.pro
|_ _App/app.pro
|_ _lib/lib.pro
|_ _TestSuite/
             |_ _Test.pro

#Application.pro 


TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS +=  app \
            lib

#subdirs
lib.file = $${PWD}/lib/lib.pro
app.file = $${PWD}/App/app.pro

#dependecies
app.depends  =  lib

QMAKE_CLEAN += $${OUT_PWD}/Makefile*

#Test.pro 


TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS +=  Test \
            lib

#subdirs
lib.file = $${PWD}/../lib/lib.pro
app.file = $${PWD}/TestSuite/Test.pro

#dependecies
Test.depends  =  lib

QMAKE_CLEAN += $${OUT_PWD}/Makefile*

The application compiles fine, but when I run make on test it throws No rule to make target lib.pro needed by Test.pro Stop error.

If I copy the lib files under TestSuite then it works perfectly. So is it mandatory that subdirs should a subdirectory of the current application?
