VERSION variable in .pro file causes incorrect linking in MSVC2010 projects

    • Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • P2: Important
    • 5.0.2
    • 4.7.3, 4.8.3, 4.8.4, 5.0.0

      MS Visual Studio 2010

    Description

      When VERSION variable is used in .pro file qmake produces a project which fails to compile with MSVC2010. The reason it fails is because in the project Properties "General->Target Name" is specified as $(TargetName)+$(VER_MAJ) where as in "Linker->Output File" it is simply $(TargetName). To illustrate:

      .pro file:

      VERSION = 1.0.1

      TARGET = QTTest

      General->Target Name = QTTest1
      Linker->Output File = QTTest.exe

      I've noticed that this bug has been introduced somewhere between Qt4.7.0 and Qt4.7.3

      I attach a small test project that can be used to reproduce the problem.
