[SOLVED]QMake,how to achieve kit detection and automatic conditional linking.

musimbate

Hi,
I have a project that I am building for msvc,mingw and android ,in my project file I have something like this :

#msvc
#LIBS += E:\project\libs\msvc\lib0.lib

#Android
LIBS += E:\project\libs\android\lib.a

#Mingw
#LIBS += E:\project\libs\mingw\lib.a

I want to do something like:

if(using msvc kit)
LIBS += E:\project\libs\msvc\lib.lib

if(using android kit)
LIBS += E:\project\libs\android\lib.a

if(using mingw kit)
LIBS += E:\project\libs\mingw\lib.a

To achieve automatic linking when I switch kits without me going back to comment and uncomment things.Is there a way I can do that in QMake?

Thank you for your time.

Use the mkspec name of the kit you're using to conditionally define LIBS, e.g. :

win32-msvc* {
    LIBS += E:\project\libs\msvc\lib.lib
}
android-g++ {
    LIBS += E:\project\libs\android\lib.a
}
win32-g++ {
    LIBS += E:\project\libs\mingw\lib.a
}

The complete list of possibilities is in the mkspecs directory of Qt installation.
