dist-like target?

[akos.maroy]

I wonder how one creates a dist -like target with qmake (like make dist when using autoconf / automake). I looked at the documentation, but not much information is available. there's a DISTFILES variable, that's supposed to help in his, but no matter what I do, actually no 'dist' make target is created by qmake.

am I missing something obvious?

what I'd need is really something close to what automake / autoconf does. either:

- make a distclean, put together the sources and some generated documentation, and create a tarball out of it.
- compile the code, add header files & generated documentation, and create a tarball from that

Did you try just calling "make dist"? It works only on Unices, though...

sure I did. and for me, no dist target is generated. (I'm doing all this on Linux)

can you provide a sample qmake file, that does generate a dist target for you?

That's everything I have:

SOURCES+=main.cpp

SOURCES+=main.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

+ an empty main.cpp file, of course.

interesting. you're using the app template then?

it seems no dist target is generated for other templates, like the subdirs template...

hm...

[wysota]

That's correct. subdirs template doesn't create a dist target.
