Maybe there is any more documentation? Some examples? Thanks, Thomas ___ Qbs mailing list Qbs@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qbs

I don't think this is actually true. In particular, if have no idea what "add more in a project file" means. The buildVariant property is used for two things: 1) A number of other properties derive their default values from it, e.g. cpp.optimization. These can of course be overwritten, so in effect you have a custom build variant then. 2) There are several places where we assume one of "debug" and "release", for instance when deciding which variant of the Qt libraries to link against. Therefore, I think you need to go with one of the two predefined values. Christian ___ Qbs mailing list Qbs@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qbs
