Passing variables/paths from ROOT Project to SUBDIRECTORY Projects without PRI

[iamDAMON]

Hi Guys!

I'm a newbie in Qt, I'm working on a project that has 1 root project and 3 subdirectory projects

ROOT.pro
|__
SUB1.pro
|__
SUB2.pro
|__
SUB3.pro

#####ROOT.pro
TEMPLATE = subdir
SUBDIRS += SUB1.pro\
SUB2.pro\
SUB3.pro
PATHSAMPLE = $$PWD/pathsampledir/

#####SUB1.pro
QT += core gui
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += sub1source.cpp
HEADERS += sub1header.h
FORMS += sub1form.ui

win32{
Debug{
DESTDIR = PATHSAMPLE
}
}

#####SUB2.pro
QT += core gui
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += sub2source.cpp
HEADERS += sub2header.h
FORMS += sub2form.ui

win32{
Debug{
DESTDIR = PATHSAMPLE
}
}

#####SUB3.pro
QT += core gui
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += sub3source.cpp
HEADERS += sub3header.h
FORMS += sub3form.ui

win32{
Debug{
DESTDIR = PATHSAMPLE
}
}

In this case, i would like to access PATHSAMPLE from the ROOT.pro to the SUBDIRECTORIES without using/including .pri. Can you help me guys? Is it possible? What can I do to solve this one? Thanks in advance

First of all it should be DESTDIR = $$PATHSAMPLE. Second of all what's wrong with pri files?

[iamDAMON]

Hi Sorry for that. Yeah it should be
DESTDIR = $$PATHSAMPLE

I just want to know if its possible without including PRI. Is it possible Sir?

[wysota]

As far as I remember with SUBDIR template some variables are being passed to child projects. If it doesn't work for you, you can always use environment variables.

Thank You Sir.

Can you give example Sir. I'm a little bit confused about this. And how can I check the cvariables that are being passed to child projects?

[wysota]

And how can I check the cvariables that are being passed to child projects?

Observe the console output when building the projects. And I'm sure you will notice if your variable is being passed or not based on the fact whether it is respected by the child project or not.
