qbuild.solution

qbuild.solution is a QSettings-readable ini file. There are two useful pieces of information in this file.

• The BuildPath key contains the location of the build hierarchy. If the first character is a $ the rest of the string is taken as an environment variable.
• The FilePaths array contains an ordered list of project paths to map. Each entry in the array must further contain a FilePath key and an optional ProjectLocation key. The FilePath points to a directory to map into the project filesystem, and the ProjectLocation the point in the filesystem to map it. If ProjectLocation is omitted, it defaults to the root of the project.

Any relative paths in a qbuild.solution file are resolved relative to the location of the containing qbuild.solution file.

The extensions directory under the path containing the qbuild executable is always mapped into the extensions path of the solution to provide the default extensions.

Here is an example solution file.

    [Solution]
    [Solution\FilePaths]
    size=1
    1\FilePath=/home/user/src/myproject

Here is a solution file that relies on an environment variable to locate the build tree.

    [Solution]
    BuildPath=$QPEDIR
    [Solution\FilePaths]
    size=1
    1\FilePath=/home/user/src/myproject
