Incorrect Makefile generated

[wysota]

You could have a look inside the QTDIR/mkspecs directory to see if the separator is set up correctly.

I already did.

However, it's working when removing debug_and_release from

CONFIG -= ...

CONFIG -= ...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

That's why I'm wondering if it's a qmake bug or ... (since it's woking on Linux & Mac OS).

[wysota]

Can we see the whole project file?

[Octal]

sure, really simple :

QT       += core gui
 
TARGET = qmaketest
TEMPLATE = app
 
CONFIG -= debug_and_release
CONFIG *= qt warn_on release
 
 
SOURCES += main.cpp\
        mainwindow.cpp
 
HEADERS  += mainwindow.h
 
FORMS    += mainwindow.ui

QT       += core gui

TARGET = qmaketest
TEMPLATE = app

CONFIG -= debug_and_release
CONFIG *= qt warn_on release


SOURCES += main.cpp\
        mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS  += mainwindow.h

FORMS    += mainwindow.ui

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

just a basic .pro generated by Qt Creator in which I added the two CONFIG lines. Removing or commenting the first CONFIG line makes the application compile. Otherwise, I get :

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, c:\Qt\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mingw\binuic.exe ..\qmaketest\mainwindow.ui -o ui_mainwindow.h, ...) failed.

where a '\' is missing. I really don't get it :/

What if you change the relevant two lines to:

CONFIG += release

CONFIG += release

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

It is indeed working, but now if you try :

CONFIG += release
 
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
    message("Debug")
} else {
    message("Release")
}

CONFIG += release

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
    message("Debug")
} else {
    message("Release")
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You'll get "Release" 3 times.

Anyway, thank you for your help, I think it's a bug on qmake. I'll report it

[wysota]

You'll get "Release" 3 times.

On Windows you always get such messages three times. What's relevant is that the "release" part of the project file is the active one.
