    • Bug
    • Resolution: Duplicate
    • Not Evaluated
    • None
    • 4.7.4
    • Build tools: qmake
    • None
    • Windows Vista,
      can also be reproduced on Linux when using the win32-msvc2010 spec explicitly and of course only by visual inspection.

    Description

      Please see the attached example.

      • unpack file
      • cd mocinclude-bug\subdir
      • qmake -spec win32-msvc2010
      • nmake

      will complain about not knowing how to make ../build/moc/mocinclude.tmp

      Reason: Rule for mocinclude.tmp specifies an absolute path (see mocinclude-bug/build.pri) while dependent rules specify a relative path

      Solution:

      • edit subdir.pro, uncomment "mocinclude.CONFIG *= fix_target"
      • nmake qmake
      • nmake

      Now compiles fine.

      I suggest to put "mocinclude.CONFIG += fix_target" into mkspecs/features/moc.prf by default, because it seems to make the dependency and target paths consistent.
