qmake: Test for current spec

mingw, qmake, specifications, visual-studio

Solution

Probably not anymore robust, but different:

windows {
    *-g++* {
        # MinGW
    }
    *-msvc* {
        # MSVC
    }
}

Problem

I would like to detect whether qmake is currently building using MingW (win32-gcc) or Visual Studio (win32-msvc200X). At the moment I am using the following construct: ``` windows{ contains(QMAKE_CC, gcc){ # MingW } contains(QMAKE_CC, cl){ # Visual Studio } } ``` This does not seem particularly robust. Is there a better way?
