mac qmake .obj/debug-shared

[denis.bz]

Jacek,
qmake 'OBJECT_DIR = .obj'
doesn't mkdir .obj and doesn't do .moc;
sure you could do that yourself,
but the question is, what turns .obj/debug-shared on/off ?
Thanks

qmake 'OBJECT_DIR = .obj'
doesn't mkdir .obj

Because it should be OBJECTS_DIR.

and doesn't do .moc;

You have to set MOC_DIR to get this. There's also UI_DIR.

but the question is, what turns .obj/debug-shared on/off ?

I don't remember well, but qmake defaults could have changed between 4.1 and 4.3.

It turns out that "configure" on macs generates a 30-line

.../qt-mac-opensource-src-4.3.0/.qmake.cache

which qmake uses -- unless it's gone, e.g. not in the .dmg release,
arrrrrrrrgh.
(A modest suggestion for qmake people: put it in mkspecs/macxx instead).
