QMake: Solve Dependencies Automatically

[blueSpirit]

Hello,

I'd like to add something like this to my Qt project file:

STATIC_LIBRARIES += myaudio myxxxx
 
for( dep, STATIC_LIBRARIES ) {
	message($$TARGET depends on $$dep ($${DESTDIR}/$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}))
	LIBS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}
	PRE_TARGETDEPS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}
 
	$${dep}.input    = ../$${dep}/Makefile
	$${dep}.commands = cd ../$${dep} && make ;
	$${dep}.CONFIG   = no_link
	$${dep}.output   = $${DESTDIR}/libX$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}
 
	QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += $${dep}
}

STATIC_LIBRARIES += myaudio myxxxx

for( dep, STATIC_LIBRARIES ) {
	message($$TARGET depends on $$dep ($${DESTDIR}/$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}))
	LIBS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}
	PRE_TARGETDEPS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}

	$${dep}.input    = ../$${dep}/Makefile
	$${dep}.commands = cd ../$${dep} && make ;
	$${dep}.CONFIG   = no_link
	$${dep}.output   = $${DESTDIR}/libX$${dep}.$${STAT_EXT}

	QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS += $${dep}
}

I guess it's not working, since 'the object' cannot be a variable. But the output of qmake looks like this...

Project MESSAGE: graph depends on myaudio (../../bin/myaudio.a)
Project MESSAGE: graph depends on myxxxx (../../bin/myxxxx.a)
WARNING: Compiler: myaudio: No output file specified
WARNING: Compiler: myxxxx: No output file specified

Project MESSAGE: graph depends on myaudio (../../bin/myaudio.a)
Project MESSAGE: graph depends on myxxxx (../../bin/myxxxx.a)
WARNING: Compiler: myaudio: No output file specified
WARNING: Compiler: myxxxx: No output file specified

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So at least a part of it is working...

Thanks,

Charly

Is there a question somewhere in there?
