Question about qmake and debug/release configurations
Message 1 in thread
Hi. I have a .pro file that I am using to generate a Visual Studio
project file. I currently have a line that looks like this:
win32:LIBS += MSVCPRT.LIB msvcrt.lib
This results in a working Release configuration. However, I also
would like a working Debug configuration. Currently I have to
manually alter the properties for the debug configuration to specify
debug versions of these libraries.
Is it possible to change the .pro file so that it will have a debug
and release case?
Thanks.

Yes, see the qmake documentation about the CONFIG variable on how to do
that.

OK, I did look at the docs for CONFIG.
What I tried was this:
I changed:
CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe
to:
CONFIG += debug_and_release embed_manifest_exe
Then I changed my LIBS += line to the following:
debug {
win32:LIBS += MSVCPRTd.LIB msvcrtd.lib
}
release {
win32:LIBS += MSVCPRT.LIB msvcrt.lib
}
The result was that both the debug and release versions of these were
added to both configurations. This isn't what I intended.
I think I don't understand what CONFIG actually does.

You did understand correctly, however there's also a CONFIG() function
int he function reference. I thought there would be a link from the
variable section but there isn't. Sorry for the confusion.
Basically you want
CONFIG(release, debug|release)
{
release stuff
}
CONFIG(debug, debug|release)
{
debug stuff
}
