qmake + VS
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I use qmake to generate Visual Studio project files from .pro files. I
have installed both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005. How can I configure
qmake to generates project files for a distinct VS version? I don't want
to work with command-line parameters here but would prefer to e.g. set
an environment variable telling qmake to always generate the VS 2003 format.
Any help appreciated!

Create a 'qmake.bat' calling the real qmake with appropriate
parameters and make sure qmake.bat is found early in your %PATH%
[Of course 'myqmake200{3,5}.bat' would result in less confusion...]

Pragmatic, but should work. Thanks :) But what would the "appropriate
parameters" be?

I'm not sure if you can pass parameters to qmake, but I think it also
looks at the environment variable QMAKESPEC as to decide for which
Visual Studio to create project files, no?
Try setting QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2005 and QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2005
respective. But I believe you can also pass the "QMAKESPEC" to use as
parameter to qmake, see docs.
Cheers, Oliver

Ah, that's what I was looking for. Setting QMAKESPEC to win32-msvc seems
to do the trick (i.e. generate VS 2003 files).
thx!
