Hi all,
I am adding automatic versioning to my application. I already have the shell scripts to change the v.w.x.y format version number in my sourcecode and change the compile timestamp. I can include this in my makefile, to handle this in my build. Unfortunately qmake will nuke my changes if run again (I touch my .pro file). How can I add custom shell commands to certain make rules?

You are aware that qmake supports versioning, right? There is a VERSION variable and you can add a DEFINES += VER="${VERSION}" (or something like that) to the project file so that the VER macro expands to the version number in your application.
Oh, I fixed my problem by simply using 2 makefiles. One called makefile and the qmake is generated as Makefile. gnu make executes makefile and that subsequently executes Makefile.
A bit of a hack, but it woks :)
