Change building directory in .pro

How can i change building directory in qt project file? I tried this:

TARGET = project
win32: {
    CONFIG(release, debug|release): DLLDESTDIR +=  $$PWD/../lib
}
unix: {
    CONFIG(release, debug|release): QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote(cp project $$PWD/../lib)
}

But this didn't give result :(

Found something a bit similar: DESTDIR parameter. However, this option is only responsible for executables. And how to transfer all the files?

Solution

  • Thanks to @BNT for the help.

    CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
  DESTDIR = $$PWD/../debug/lib
} else {
  DESTDIR = $$PWD/../lib
}

OBJECTS_DIR = $${DESTDIR}/.obj
MOC_DIR = $${DESTDIR}/.moc
RCC_DIR = $${DESTDIR}/.rcc
UI_DIR = $${DESTDIR}/.ui

    Where DESTDIR is the folder for the executable.

    But the Makefile in such a way not to move. It has a dedicated constant, and in the documentation, as @BNT already noticed, it is written:

    Note: Do not attempt to overwrite the value of this variable.
