Project file LIBS debug/release

Hey there,

LIBS += \
-Llib/ -lqkCoreD

How can I change this LIBS including flag according to if I'm compiling in Debug or Release, I tried CONFIG(debug) / Release with no success.

Thanks.

release:LIBS and debug:LIBS should work fine.

[bunjee]

Debug: CONFIG+=debug_and_release
Release: CONFIG+=debug_and_release CONFIG+=release

I try to differentiate those too using :
CONFIG(debug, debug|release)
CONFIG(release, debug|release)

without any success. it includes both in debug mode.

Solved....

This works:

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
LIBS += \
-Llib/ -lqkCoreD
} else {
LIBS += \
-Llib/ -lqkCore
}

This does not:

CONFIG(debug, debug|release)
{
LIBS += \
-Llib/ -lqkCoreD
} else {
LIBS += \
-Llib/ -lqkCore
}

Does anyone know how to do this at CONFIGURE.exe time ? I mean when building Qt. How do I pass a -L to Release different than one -L to Debug in a -debug-and-release build?
(I'm trying to compile Qt with ICU and I have ICU compiled in Release and Debug modes in separate folders)

You shouldn't need to do that unless ICU debug and release libraries are named differently or they are link-time incompatible. Are they?
