how to let UIC generate BOTH header and source files?

[timewolf]

in the .pro file, I defined both UI_HEADERS_DIR = ./uic/include UI_SOURCES_DIR = ./uic/src but after compiling, I only get the ui_x.h files, which contain both declarations and implementations.

Is this mean QMake can't produce a simple header file containing only the minimal declarations and put all the implementation details into source file?

This is a sample generated .h file, you can find both declarations and implementations are placed within the .h file:

UIC doesn't produce .cpp files.
