Specify path for qrc_foo.cpp file in qmake project file

Trying to keep my project folder clean by movimg all temporarily files to /tmp which works fine for moc files and objects with OBJECTS_DIR = tmp/ and MOC_DIR = tmp/. Now the only temporary file at top level is the qrc_something.cpp.

Isn't there a variable for that output in the .pro file? I could not find it here.

Makefile looks like this:

tmp/qrc_configwizard.o: qrc_configwizard.cpp 
    $(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(INCPATH) -o tmp/qrc_configwizard.o qrc_configwizard.cpp

I could add the tmp/ there but that would be very inconvenient (or should it rather be in src? At least not top level, or?).

The variable you're looking for is called RCC_DIR.

May I suggest to use a shadow build instead of playing with these variables?

  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • qmake ../../path/to/source.pro
  • make

Done, source directory clean of build artifacts.
