sub-dir compilation problem

[Salazaar]

Hi. I've got very annoying problem. I just cannot compile application which is spread across sub-directories. I get some kind of endless project messages loop without proper compilation. Any ideas how to solve it?

mingw or msvc? which version? which Qt version? What shell?

[Salazaar]

mingw 3.2 and qt 4.3.2, and I've had the same problem with qt 4.2.3.

What shell?

i don't understand

[wysota]

shell: cmd or msys?

What exactly happens if you feed a project such as this to qmake:
TEMPLATE=subdirs
SUBDIRS=s1 s2

and in directories s1 s2 place such projects:
TEMPLATE=app
SOURCES=main.cpp

and create empty main.cpp files in both dirs.

Please paste output of qmake && make which you receive for such a configuration.

I don't know how it happened, but when I tried to compile it to get wrong output which you wanted to see, it's just compiling well. Regards

I've got a problem, in the end of compiling edyuk, I got this error:

C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lQtXmld4

C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lQtXmld4

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So of course after it I got release error. What is wrong?

You don't seem have debug version of Qt libs built (notice that there's also a start-menu shortcut for doing so). So try:

> make clean
> qmake -config release
> make

This will compile it in release mode.

Ok, it helped, thanks, but there's another problem. It's compiling the same things for few times, so as it compiles the whole, it starts to compile it again, and there's no end of this loop. Regards

Either it can't write the compilation results to the disk or there's something wrong with file modification dates.

So, what can I do to solve it?

First try passing -recursive option to qmake, if that doesn't help check if you can create new files and overwrite old ones in project's subdirectories.

I tried this two things - It hasn't helped

Then maybe there's something wrong with file names?

How do you invoke qmake and make? Do you use "Qt Command Prompt"?

[Salazaar]

Now everything is fine, edyuk has just set that by default it compiles with debugging, so I just had to add make release at the end
