qmake debug release win32

Hi

Uisng QT 3.3.4 and visual studio 2003 SP1

I am trying to get qmake to work in the way I would normally do so with visual studio. I am building a solution with a number of projects in both debug and release mode. I want to keep my source tree clean so I build objects and libraries outside the tree. As I want to switch without rebuilding the whole thing I don't want debug and release in the same place.

In visual studio I would set IntermediateDirectory to be soem place outside my tree and different for each.

My .pro file is shown below, when config is set to debug I get

Name="Release|Win32"
IntermediateDirectory="Release\"
Name="Debug|Win32"
IntermediateDirectory="dir1\"

and when it is set to relese I get

Name="Release|Win32"
IntermediateDirectory="dir2\"
Name="Debug|Win32"
IntermediateDirectory="Debug\"

i.e. for the config I have specified it is working but defaulting to the regualr place for the one I haven't defined.

CONFIG = debug
#CONFIG = release
TEMPLATE = vcapp

MYNAME = renderer

debug {
DESTDIR = ./dir1
OBJECTS_DIR = ./dir1
}
else:release {
DESTDIR = ./dir2
OBJECTS_DIR = ./dir2
}

HEADERS += hello.h
SOURCES += hello.cpp
SOURCES += main.cpp

RE: qmake debug release win32

while building your project, you get some errors?
