Bad design. It started off fairly clean but stuff got shoved in there that really shouldn't have because it was an easy place to do it. A fix is in progress to separate the true per-user stuff from the stuff that's really part of the build rules but doesn't fit into a .pro file. > But let me ask another naive question: is this file per-platform or > per-machine?

Portability is really only possible if you have the same username, same toolchains, and same paths for everything relevant on both machines. Don't consider this advice; consider this a warning. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
