Morning, EXAMPLE_FILES contains a list of additional example files for a project. The files referenced in the variable will be installed by qmake to the appropriate examples destination. See: mkspecs/features/qt_example_installs.prf

The file is simply not installed as an example file. It is _silently_ dropped. The rationale behind not allowing .. is to have examples self-contained, this I get. Grouping examples accordingly is the solution here. But dropping them silently by default seems very user-unfriendly. > >> It is silently dropped, you have to enable CONFIG+=check_examples to get >> a notice about this. Why is that? > > About what? When you set CONFIG+=check_examples you get a message when a file conatining '..' is referenced as an example file. Example: Project MESSAGE: Notice: /home/swid/src/qwebchannel/examples/qwebchannel/nodejs/nodejs.pro refers to ../../../src/webchannel/qwebchannel.js > > You can assign any value to any variable you want in qmake.
