This is the reference page for qmake generator. Go to Integrations/Qmake if you want to learn how to integrate your project or recipes with qmake.

Generates a file named conanbuildinfo.pri that can be used for your qmake builds. The file contains:

  • N groups of variables, one group per require, declaring the same individual values: include_paths, libs, bin dirs, libraries, defines etc.

  • One group of global variables with the aggregated values for all requirements.

Package declared vars

For each requirement conanbuildinfo.pri file declares the following variables. XXX is the name of the require in uppercase. e.k “ZLIB” for zlib/1.2.8@lasote/stable requirement:
