Qmake Headers Library

Question

I create qmake project with "Subdirs" template, header library and testing console-application.

Main.pro:

TEMPLATE = subdirs CONFIG -= app_bundle CONFIG -= qt CONFIG += ordered SUBDIRS += tests Config

Config.pro:

HEADERS += \ Reader.h \ Builder.h\ Store.h\ Setter.h

tests.pro:

HEADERS += \ CheckConfig.h \ CheckReader.h \ JsonGenerator.h \ Setter.h SOURCES += \ CheckReader.cpp \ JsonGenerator.cpp \ main.cpp \ Setter.cpp #my util functions and vars include(../common/settings.pri) include(../common/common.pri) #generate application config ConsoleApplication(test) #enable flags for exports libs in depends.pri file EnableModuleExport() include(../Config/depends.pri) #setup includepath for Config library SetHeadersPath(../)

qmake generate makefile for project Config.pro, after run build with gcc, I have error. That's okay, because I did not ask the build targets and no function main(). It is necessary to disable the generation of a Makefile for qmake, or generate a makefile without build targets.

I did the project Config as fake static library, but it is not the best solution

I'm sorry not to understand your question...

requires(false) prevents the install target from running too! Header only libraries still need to be installed.

Discovered by experimenting, that requires(false) does not work, but you need a TEMPLATE and a TARGET line

Comment system not working for me, so one needs the following lines:

TEMPLATE=lib LIB=dummy HEADERS=... headers.files=$$HEADERS headers.path=$$PREFIX/include INSTALLS+=headers

In Headear-only library need use requires(false)

HEADERS += <your headers files> #needed in QtCreator for correct display "#include" directives INCLUDEPATH += <your deps> requires(false) #disable building
