qmake: create a dependency to an arbitrary file.

[33333]

Hi,

I want to create a dependency between a file in my project and an arbitrary other file that may or may not be in the project. Say for example foo.cpp is dependent /etc/passwd. This is pretty much basic `make` but I can't figure out how to do this from qmake.

To clarify; qmake will generate a makefile with the following lines:

...
  all: Makefile $(TARGET)
 
  $(TARGET):  $(OBJECTS)
  ...

...
  all: Makefile $(TARGET)

  $(TARGET):  $(OBJECTS)
  ...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I want to add an arbitrary dependency to $(TARGET). So its becomes:

...
  all: Makefile $(TARGET)
 
  $(TARGET):  $(OBJECTS) /etc/passwd
  ...

...
  all: Makefile $(TARGET)
  
  $(TARGET):  $(OBJECTS) /etc/passwd
  ...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks.
