Symbian: Directories for qmake generated files

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      As the list of files generated by qmake keep on growing, I'm wondering if we should consider grouping these into sub-directories to make things a little cleaner. If you create a S60 project in Carbide, the directory structure looks like this:

      Project\

      • includes\
      • data\
      • help\
      • inc\
      • src\
      • gfx\
      • group\
      • sis\

      We don't have to use all of these, but I think it would be nicer if we added some of our generated files to the places where they would normally go. I don't expect us to move .cpp files to 'src' or .h files to 'inc' because these aren't generated, but the following would be nice:

      group\

      • bld.inf
      • project.mmp
      • Makefile_project.mk

      data\

      • project_reg.rss (when we finally use it)
      • project.rss

      sis\

      • *.pkg

      The major downside of this is that you need to go into the 'group' directory before you run 'bldmake/abld', but most Symbian devs will already be used to this I suspect. We can still clean up and improve our wrapper Makefile such that running qmake/make will "Do The Right Thing".
