How Does One Put a Conditional For Embedded Linux into a .pro file?

[cloaked_and_coastin]

Okay, in a .cpp file you can put the following:

#ifdef Q_WS_QWS
#endif

to denote Embedded Linux. It seems you can't do this in a .pro file. I've got a couple of lines in the .pro file that I want to ignore when compiling/running the application on the desktop (Linux). They are:

CONFIG += static
LIBS+= -L../xxxxkbrdplugin/kbddrivers \
-lxxxxkbrddriverplugin

How does one put a conditional in the .pro file to ignore these lines when compiling to run on a Linux desktop? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

you can use scopes with the name of the use makespec. Since I never have developed for embedded linux I don't know what is used but it is like:

linux-g++ {
     # Linux stuff
 }
macx-g++ {
    # mac stuff
}

linux-g++ {
     # Linux stuff
 }
macx-g++ {
    # mac stuff
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

...or you can check your environment. E.g. you want to check if you are on a Mac-Darwin system:

SYSNAME = $$system(uname)
if (contains(SYSNAME, 'Darwin')) {
  message("Yes, you are on a Darwin system!")
}

SYSNAME = $$system(uname)
if (contains(SYSNAME, 'Darwin')) {
  message("Yes, you are on a Darwin system!")
}

I went into the qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.0/mkspecs/qws (Since I'm running on Embedded Linux) directory and chose the applicable mkspec. I then changed my .pro file to this:

linux-powerpc-g++ {
CONFIG += static
LIBS += -L../iviukbrdplugin/kbddrivers \
-liviukbrddriverplugin
}

Now I'm able to compile for the desktop and for the target without having to comment stuff out in the .pro file. Thanks Again!
