OK, here’s an ugly hack:
# Copy required DLLs to output directory
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
QtCored4.commands = copy /Y %QTDIR%\\bin\\QtCored4.dll debug
QtCored4.target = debug/QtCored4.dll
QtGuid4.commands = copy /Y %QTDIR%\\bin\\QtGuid4.dll debug
QtGuid4.target = debug/QtGuid4.dll
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += QtCored4 QtGuid4
PRE_TARGETDEPS += debug/QtCored4.dll debug/QtGuid4.dll
} else:CONFIG(release, debug|release) {
QtCore4.commands = copy /Y %QTDIR%\\bin\\QtCore4.dll release
QtCore4.target = release/QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.commands = copy /Y %QTDIR%\\bin\\QtGui4.dll release
QtGui4.target = release/QtGui4.dll
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += QtCore4 QtGui4
PRE_TARGETDEPS += release/QtCore4.dll release/QtGui4.dll
} else {
error(Unknown set of dependencies.)
}
Here’s some of what I don’t like about it:
- Uses %QTDIR% environment variable; this variable isn’t evaluated until the copy command is actually run. Seems like something along the lines of QMAKE_LIBS_QT_DLL would be more appropriate, but I couldn’t get that working for some reason.
- Hard-coded “debug” and “release” names; seems like there ought to be some kind of variable to use for that.
- Calling out to the environment by using the “copy” command.
I’ll accept another answer if somebody can clean this up a good bit, for example by shortening it and/or addressing some of my concerns, or just finding a better way in general.
