Qmake Qt：将头文件移动到生成文件夹

Question

I'm new to Qt, with a C# background.

I am creating Dym Libs for a few projects. I want to have the Header files moved to the build folder during compile OR know how to include the Header file in the lib.

Any suggestions on how to make my lib a full package without having to copy/paste the header files, or the best approach for distribution would be great.

Cheers

Answer 1

Use the INSTALLS qmake variable

public_headers.path = include
public_headers.files = include/*.h

INSTALLS += public_headers

Then you can call make install (with a proper prefix, see eg this question ), which should result in the headers being installed alongside the binaries.
