Building multiple targets in Qt / Qmake

qmake, qt

Solution

You can define multiple configuratiions for a .pro file:

QT += network
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp \
    mainwindow.cpp
HEADERS += mainwindow.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
RESOURCES += resource.qrc

configA {
TARGET = targetA
DEFINES += PARAMA
}

configB {
  TARGET = targetB
  DEFINES += PARAMB
}

You can use the CONFIG parameter while running qmake.

qmake x.pro CONFIG+=configA

Problem

How could I specify multiple targets with different configurations in Qt? Is there a way to do it in one .pro file? For example, I would want to build the following 2 .pro files (without having to manually change the .pro file each time): targetA: ``` QT += network TEMPLATE = app SOURCES += main.cpp \ mainwindow.cpp HEADERS += mainwindow.h FORMS += mainwindow.ui RESOURCES += resource.qrc TARGET = targetA DEFINES += PARAMA ``` targetB: ``` QT += network TEMPLATE = app SOURCES += main.cpp \ mainwindow.cpp HEADERS += mainwindow.h FORMS += mainwindow.ui RESOURCES += resource.qrc TARGET = targetB DEFINES += PARAMB ```
