QMake incorrectly parses TEMPLATE parameter at the command line

[Paladin12]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a widget library. If I type:

>> qmake -project "TEMPLATE = lib" MyProject.pro .

>> qmake -project "TEMPLATE = lib" MyProject.pro .

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The result is:

TEMPLATE = lib
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .
 
# Input
HEADERS += MyProjectImpl.h
FORMS += MyProject.ui
SOURCES += MyProjectImpl.cpp

TEMPLATE = lib
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = 
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .

# Input
HEADERS += MyProjectImpl.h
FORMS += MyProject.ui
SOURCES += MyProjectImpl.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

As you can see there are two 'TEMPLATE' entries when there should only be one and this breaks my build. The 'TEMPLATE = app' line should be absent.

Is this a bug or am I using the command line incorrectly?

You can change the template by passing -t option.

Perfect.

qmake -project -t "lib" MyProject.pro .

qmake -project -t "lib" MyProject.pro .

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

works.

Glad I put this in the newbie 'section'! Thanks.
