Change qmake output folders (debug/release)

[superpacko]

Hi, im building my project with Qt Creator and i cant find a way to avoid the /debug and /release folders that qmake is generating.

i used DESTDIR to output my files, but somehow qmake is still craeting the debug and release folders empty. I 've seen that the resulting makefiles have this line :

SUBTARGETS = \
debug \
release

I wonder where can i change this configuration, since i dont want any of these folders.

Heres my .pro:

Hello, I’m new to QT Creator but I’ve noticed that projects with DESTDIR and MOC_DIR set don’t generate the extra debug and release folders. Try adding:

MOC_DIR = ../.obj/

MOC_DIR = ../.obj/

Remember to remove the any existing debug and release folders before rebuilding. Also, I usually run qmake if the removal of the debug and release folders temporally cause an error.
