I have a Qt console app with the following .pro file:
QT -= gui
CONFIG += c++11 console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any feature of Qt which as been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS
# You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000 # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0
SOURCES += \
main.cpp
DISTFILES += \
data.txt
data_files.path = $$OUT_PWD
data_files.files = data.txt
INSTALLS += \
data_files
As you can see from my .pro file there are two files in project folder: main.cpp and data.txt
I want to copy data.txt from my source folder to build output folder and I know there is INSTALLS for my problem.
What's wrong with my .pro?

I need to convert two lines from .pro file in Qt to corresponding lines in CMake:
CONFIG -= staticlib
CONFIG += shared
what should I write in cmakelist file to generate teh same effect as this ?

Thanks in advance.
In qmake every .pro file yields a "module" in your project structure. The module has a product. This product might be an executable/application, static library, or a dynamic/shared library.
CMake on the other hand does not do this implicitly. To add module one would normally use the add_library function.
To mimic this particular behavior you would write either
project("my_library")
set(sources <your source files go here>)
add_library("my_library" STATIC ${sources})
or
project("my_library")
set(sources <your source files go here>)
add_library("my_library" SHARED ${sources})
Now the problem here is that we're missing the list of sources. In your case they are defined in the .pri files.
I'm trying to deploy QT to a 32 bit Windows but when I try to run the file on other computers (I tried on Windows 10) I get an error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
To make the deploy I used this:
C:\Qt\5.9.1\ msvc2015\bin\windeployqt.exe -release -compiler-runtime my_program.exe
This is a picture of the output (partially) of dependency walker
It is important to note that I also use additional libraries (OpenSSL and Boost) in my software here is my PRO file:

I am writing a tool with Qt Creator which builds but immediately crashes with the message:
"The program can't start because pthreadVC2.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
Of course, the "pthreadVC2.dll" library is not missing (and is not corrupted, since it works with other projects), and it is located in the path specified in the Qt pro file:
# DeltaPlots.pro
TARGET = DeltaPlots
QT += core gui
CONFIG += console

[Edit: This answer refers to the original question]
Usually you would add
LIBS += -LS:/3rdparty/DFS.Infrastructure.ThreadingW \
-lpthreadVC2
This adds your library's folder as a library search path (Note the capital -L) and pthreadVC2.lib as a library to link against (lower case -l).
You do not need to add the .dll to the LIBS path, as the .dll is loaded at runtime.
But: This approach only works when the .lib is in the same folder as the .dll. I'm a bit surprised you have yours in different locations.
Maybe adding
LIBS += -LS:/3rdparty
would work, but I'm not sure about that.
In any event, you need to deploy the .dll with your .exe for releases.
Specs: Qt Creator 2.5.1, Qt 4.7.4(32bit)
It is my understanding from the Qt documentation that including a resource (.qrc) in the .pro file of Qt is all that is required to get qmake to generate the correct qrc_*.cpp files. That doesn't seem to be the case for my project. When running qmake the makes files are created and there are references to the qrc_ file I'm looking for under compiler_rcc_clean, just not in the build chain.
[Update]
At a suggestion from comments below the makefile generated by qmake was tested directly w/ NMAKE. The correct qrc_filter_ao.cpp file was created. However the IDE still fails to properly generate this file when I build from Qt Creator.
.pro:
include (../../shared.pri)
TARGET = filter_ao
QT += opengl
HEADERS += ./filter_ao.h
SOURCES += ./filter_ao.cpp
RESOURCES += \
filter_ao.qrc
shared.pri
include (./general.pri)
VCGDIR = ../$$VCGDIR
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += plugin
CONFIG += resources
QT += opengl
QT += xml
QT += xmlpatterns
QT += script
win32-msvc2008: LIBS += ../../distrib/common.lib
win32-msvc2008:DEFINES += GLEW_STATIC _USE_MATH_DEFINES
INCLUDEPATH *= ../.. $$VCGDIR ../$$GLEWDIR/include
DEPENDPATH += ../.. $$VCGDIR
win32-msvc2008:DEFINES += _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
CONFIG(release,debug | release){
# Uncomment the following line to disable assert in mingw
#DEFINES += NDEBUG
}
DESTDIR = ../../distrib/plugins
contains(TEMPLATE,lib) {
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
unix:TARGET = $$member(TARGET, 0)_debug
else:TARGET = $$member(TARGET, 0)d
}
}
win32-msvc2008: RCC_DIR = $(ConfigurationName)
general.pri
VCGDIR = ../../../vcglib
GLEWDIR = ../external/glew-1.7.0
win32:DEFINES += NOMINMAX
I think #Pie_Jesu is correct. I have set up a directory structure with the files from the OP, and imported the .pro file into QtCreator. I have removed the "win32-msvc2008: " prefix from the line which sets RCC_DIR since I am using VS Express 2010.
Result was that I get a message like "Unable to open \qrc_filter_ao.cpp for writing: Access denied" and no qrc_file is being created.
I then set the line to /TEMP:
RCC_DIR = /TEMP
Result is that I find the qrc_ file below \TEMP.
Did you try with a simpler .pro file? For instance, the following works for me (On Linux, no MSVC env available currently):
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += plugin
CONFIG += resources
QT += opengl
QT += xml
QT += xmlpatterns
QT += script
TARGET = filter_ao
QT += opengl
RESOURCES += \
filter_ao.qrc
Make sure that the output of from the build contain a call to $QTDIR/rcc, like
/usr/bin/rcc -name filter_ao filter_ao.qrc -o qrc_filter_ao.cpp
I have a project that links to a number of shared libraries.
Lets say project A depends on projects B and C
Ideally, I want to impose the following dependencies in my project file:
Rebuild project A if either B or C has been rebuilt since last time project A was built
Use the output for the relevant configuration (i.e. if building project A in debug mode, then use the debug versions of the libs for project B and C)
Does anyone know how I may explicitly express such dependencies in my project file?
After quite a bit of frustration with qmake, I have found what I think is the answer to your question. If not, then I have learned the way that I will use qmake until I find something better, because this is still a little bit ugly. I set up a demo project, this is my directory structure (files have extensions, folders do not):
MyProj
MyProj.pro
myproj-core
myproj-core.pro
globals.h
MyProjCore.h
MyProjCore.cpp
myproj-app
myproj-app.pro
main.cpp
We start with MyProj.pro as a subdirs project, which is the key to doing what you ask. Basically, instead of depending on other projects to specify debug/release and all sorts of other junk, you just set it on the one qmake file. It doesn't let you make only what you need, but it's the best solution I could come up with. Here are the contents:
TEMPLATE = subdirs
# Needed to ensure that things are built right, which you have to do yourself :(
CONFIG += ordered
# All the projects in your application are sub-projects of your solution
SUBDIRS = myproj-core \
myproj-app
# Use .depends to specify that a project depends on another.
myproj-app.depends = myproj-core
myproj-core.pro is your typical shared object library:
QT -= gui
TARGET = myproj-core
TEMPLATE = lib
DEFINES += MYPROJCORE_LIBRARY
SOURCES += MyProjCore.cpp
HEADERS += MyProjCore.h \
globals.h
myproj-app.pro is consumer application, where the little rebuild-when-needed trick is:
QT -= gui
TARGET = myproj-app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
# Specify that we're lookin in myproj-core. Realistically, this should be put
# in some configuration file
INCLUDEPATH += ../myproj-core
# Link to the library generated by the project. Could use variables or
# something here to make it more bulletproof
LIBS += ../myproj-core/libmyproj-core.so
# Specify that we depend on the library (which, logically would be implicit from
# the fact that we are linking to it)
PRE_TARGETDEPS += ../myproj-core/libmyproj-core.so
SOURCES += main.cpp
I hope this solves your problem, as I know it solved mine!
EDIT: I made a file specifically for building the dependencies for me, I store it in a sibling folder of each of my projects (child of the MyProj in the directory structure specified above) called dependencies.pri:
# On windows, a shared object is a .dll
win32: SONAME=dll
else: SONAME=so
# This function sets up the dependencies for libraries that are built with
# this project. Specify the libraries you need to depend on in the variable
# DEPENDENCY_LIBRARIES and this will add
for(dep, DEPENDENCY_LIBRARIES) {
#message($$TARGET depends on $$dep ($${DESTDIR}/$${dep}.$${SONAME}))
LIBS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${SONAME}
PRE_TARGETDEPS += $${DESTDIR}/lib$${dep}.$${SONAME}
}
So at the bottom of all the consuming applications, I can add the lines:
DEPENDENCY_LIBRARIES = myproj-core
include(../config/dependencies.pri)
This assumes that you are copying the libraries to some shared location and/or moving them around as needed, so my function might not work for you, but I figured I would add it to the solution.
I use the solution below. This works without the usage of an extra .pro file with subdir template.
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = MyApp
PRE_TARGETDEPS = ../../libs/MyLib/MyLib.a
INCLUDEPATH += ../../libs/MyLib/include
HEADERS += src/MyApp.h \
../../libs/MyLib/incude/MyLib.h
SOURCES += src/MyApp.cpp
LIBS += ../../libs/MyLib/MyLib.a
MyLib.target = ../../libs/MyLib/MyLib.a
MyLib.commands = cd ../../libs/MyLib && make
MyLib.depends = ../../libs/MyLib/Makefile
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += MyLib
Check out this question: Force relink when building in QT Creator
Try adding something similar to this code to your pro file:
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
DESTDIR = ../../../bin/debug
OBJECTS_DIR = ./debug
}
else {
DESTDIR = ../../../bin/release
OBJECTS_DIR = ./release
}
Then you will have to specify the dependencies for each configuration:
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
LIBS += -L../../../lib/debug \
-L../../../bin/debug \
-llib1 \
-llib2
PRE_TARGETDEPS += ../../../lib/debug/liblib1.a \
../../../lib/debug/liblib2.a
else {
LIBS += -L../../../lib/release \
-L../../../bin/release \
-llib1 \
-llib2
PRE_TARGETDEPS += ../../../lib/release/liblib1.a \
../../../lib/release/liblib2.a
}
I had this problem when refactoring my project, after I moved in a new DLL (pqXDot) a reusable class (from pqGraphviz).
After adding a new DLL to my project, and adding the new DLL reference to others DLL and applications that needed it, I had in main .pro:
TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS += \
pqConsole \
pqConsoleTest \
pqSource \
pqSourceTest \
fdqueens \
pqGraphviz \
pqGraphvizTest \
pqXDot
and the rebuild caused a linker error, because pqGraphviz, the DLL being restructured, can't find pqXDot, the new DLL.
It turns out it's sufficient to reorder the SUBDIRS list, moving the required DLL before the dependent one:
SUBDIRS += \
pqConsole \
pqConsoleTest \
pqSource \
pqSourceTest \
fdqueens \
pqXDot \
pqGraphviz \
pqGraphvizTest
For those that are interested into a template for your Qt/QML project, I have published one template on GitHub QmlAppTemplate.
