Make c++ macro2 containt quoted body of macro1
When a C preprocessor macro is expanded, its parameters are expanded to their literal arguments, so s would be expanded to A when your QUOTE(s) taking argument A is expanded. Normally, after this expansion is complete, the expanded text is then scanned again to expand any macros embedded therein, so...
Embedding Python3 in Qt 5
python,c++,qt,qmake,qt-signals
The offending line is this: PyType_Slot *slots; /* terminated by slot==0. */ The problem is that with this line, "slots" is a keyword by default in Qt. In order to use that variable name in other projects, you will need to use this in your project file: CONFIG += no_keywords...

How to import QWebView in my QT project?
I am also using Archlinux for Qt 4 purposes, and the issue is this: QT += webkit webkitwidgets ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Qt GUI was separated into QtGui and QtWidgets in Qt 5. That also included the restructuring of the QtWebKit module to reflect the changes. Therefore, in Qt 4, there were...

Right after I posted the question, I found the issue. Embarrassingly, it was an issue I have run into before with assimp (although I just now realized why re-building it with cmake worked). The hallmarks: Weird linker errors with a library when you know the library is being found. You...
Qmake get the target output file path
You don't have to specify target.files, target is a special case and it's predefined in qmake. http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-environment-reference.html#installs If you append a built-in install set to the INSTALLS variable and do not specify files or extra members, qmake will decide what needs to be copied for you. Currently, the only supported...

qmake's write_file() and system() doesn't want to make a file
Huh! I found the solution and it may sounds like buy yourself some brain. I thought, that qmake is launched every time the project file is changed (output of message commands proved my thoughts), but it's not really the way things happen in Qt. I don't know how exactly, but...
What files are needed for a release build with Qt Creator? [duplicate]
Try to deploy your application using The Windows Deployment Tool which could be found in QTDIR/bin/windeployqt.exe. It automatically puts all necessary files in your application directory. Open your command prompt and add the path to your Qt directory and it's bin folder to the PATH variable like : set PATH=...
Adding custom commands to existing targets in qmake
There are two straightforward ways to accomplish this, depending on how self-contained / portable you want your solution to be and how lenient you want to be with the order of command execution. Option 1 The first option is to create a custom target in the .pro file for the...
Using libraries in Qt
I think your problem is (at least) this line: INCLUDEPATH += ./Libraries/SMTPClient/debug I am almost certain that this is not the right path to the include path where the headers can be found including emailadress.h. You have explained the LIBS values that you have tried as well as the lib...

./release\addeditaton.o:addeditaton.cpp:(.text+0x6ac2): undefined reference to `_imp___ZN10HTTPClient5abortEv' Lines like that usually means at least either of the following issues: You do not have the corresponding library installed.

This is in fact a Qt bug which affects mingw : https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44142 An easy workaround is to edit the file mkspecs\features\c++14.prf and comment out the line greaterThan(QT_GCC_MAJOR_VERSION, 4)|greaterThan(QT_GCC_MINOR_VERSION, 7): \...
Adding libusb library to a Qt project in osx
Forming my comment into a proper answer; this is not the correct syntax to use: LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -libusb-1.0.a LIBS += -L<libusb.h> The proper one would be this: LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lusb-1.0 or LIBS += -l/full/path/to/libusb-1.0.a You can drop the second LIBS line in your initial attempt because you have...
Qt $$[…] - configuration option that were set when Qt was built
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS is one of the built-in properties of qmake. The manual of qmake in Qt 4.8 talks about qmake's built-in properties but does not mention QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS specifically. The manual of qmake in Qt 5 shows a much longer list of built-in properties including QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS. If you take a look...

As it is mentioned in the comment, your path is not correct because it contains a space which is apparently not handled properly by qmake: C:\Users\Darrel\Desktop\New folder\AnotherTest\AnotherTest.pro ^ Try to remove that, so something like this should work: C:\Users\Darrel\Desktop\Newfolder\AnotherTest\AnotherTest.pro ^^^^^^^^ ...

Is there a way to do this automatically? Yes and no. You could run qmake like this: qmake -project "QT+=widgets" and then it is generated properly, but other than that from the command line, no. Also, note that you would like to use a guard if you plan to...
QMAKE_EXTRA_COMPILERS output directory, msvc
Idea 1 MSVC places object files usually into a release/debug sub-directory of the build dir. The other compilers don't. Thus you just have to add release/ or debug/ between ${QMAKE_VAR_OBJECTS_DIR} and ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}, e.g. win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): ExtraCompiler.output = ${QMAKE_VAR_OBJECTS_DIR}release/${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}$${QMAKE_EXT_OBJ} else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): ExtraCompiler.output = ${QMAKE_VAR_OBJECTS_DIR}debug/${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}$${QMAKE_EXT_OBJ} else: ExtraCompiler.output =...

Given that your pasted files look correct and work here, I am leaning towards that your problem is this line: INCLUDEPATH += ../kernel/ You likely execute qmake from the project root where your main project file resides calling qmake recursively to generate the Makefiles.

qmake assigning variables in command line
You have a couple of issues in here: You are trying to set a C++ option for the CFLAGS variable as opposed to CXXFLAGS. if I were, I would pass the "CFLAGS+=-std=c++11" to the first qmake run when the project file is created because the variable will be put into...

Looks like I fixed it.

“cannot find -lQt5Core -lQt5Gui etc” when using other not related libraries
Based on our comments and outcome, it seems that a quick solution is to add the libraries explicitly that you wish to use. It will generate something like this in the background, so basically using static libraries as opposed to dynamic: win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../../../../../../../Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/mingw48_32/lib/libQt5Core.a else:win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS +=...
Adding SIP as a compiler for qmake
qt,makefile,pyqt,qmake,python-sip
The issue was occurring due to make using string matching to link dependencies to targets, rather than detecting if a target/dependency is a path and doing any relevant conversion. In my case, it was because the library dependency for my generated source file was listed as a relative path (../../Syren2/core/sipOutput/sipcoreSy_version.cpp),...

Compiling Qt3D under Windows 7

Is there a set of standard compiler options?
POSIX defines something about the c99 command (but AFAIK nothing about C++). However, the qmake utility will usually be able to find out (or at least to expect) what is the C++ compiler and how to invoke it. Notice that it is generating a Makefile Outside of Qt you might...
How to write the qmake file for a test case? [duplicate]

I am sorry to say this, but you need to learn basic C++. The proper syntax is this for such things in C++ with Qt: connect(m_osgWidget->picker.get(), SIGNAL(setX(const QString&)), m_addAgentDlg, SLOT(getX(const QString&))); // Why do you call it getX? Should it be called setText instead? void getX(const QString& string) { ui->textEdit->setText(string);...

QMake conditions don't work
This is actually the feature of QtCreator. It shows you all of included files, regardless the conditions, but it should compile correctly.
