.pro files, Xcode and absolute paths


Message 1 in thread

I've discovered that when I use qmake to create an Xcode project file
the resulting project.pbxproj contains absolute paths such as
/Users/robin/Projects/p4_workspace/etc/ etc. After opening the file in
Xcode, Xcode will heavily modify the file and add even more absolute
paths.

This is a problem when the source code is used by a different
developer or when it's branched into a different folder.

What is the correct practice for building portable project files that
contain relative paths?

Many thanks!

Only share the .pro file.  And let qmake (re-)generate the XCode files
when necessary.
