Target Makes no Sense

[Atomic_Sheep]

Hi Guys,

In my .pro file I have a line:

TARGET = win.dll

But when I compile the program, the .dll file is called HelloWorld, I have no idea how this is possible, any ideas?

Try TARGET=win

Nope, still compiles as helloworld, no idea where it's pulling that name from. That's how my headers and source files are called but I don't get how the .dll when compiled is called helloworld given that I specified win... hmm! Which makes me worried simply because I'm not sure why it's doing what it's doing. At the moment the .dll doesn't work so I can't know for sure what the problem is or whether this fact itself is what is causing the issue of the .dll not working in the first place.

Show the whole project file, please.
