how to avoid creating Makefile for an subdir

[hashb]

Hi ,

Before compile my program ,I need to compile a 3rd party library,but it is not writen in QT ,it has a Makefile to build itself . so if I write a pro file like this:

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS += image myapp

image directory is the 3rd party library,

then qmake,make
it always report "Cannot find file: image.pro"
if I write a pro file inside image, it will create a Makefile which will overwrite the original Makefile.

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

First, you should never use a Makefile generated by someone else.
It's a list of build instructions specific for one computer or even one situation.

You should always generate a Makefile yourself.
You can do that by either writing a .pro file and run qmake, or a configure file and run .configure, or a cmakelists file and run cmake, ...

QMake lets you run commands like configure or cmake and than build the code.
