Greetings,

I’ve got a .pro file that looks like:

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS = foo bar

I want to set a variable, or define, or something in my subdirs .pro file that can be read in both the foo and bar .pro files.

I’ve tried to set an environment variable with:

export TEST=something

but that does not work, message($$(TEST)) always shows nothing (like TEST is unset).

    Another option is to place the common variables in a file called “.qmake.cache” stored in the root dir of the project. This way you don’t need to include any .pri files in the subdir projects.
