Module qbs
The qbs module is implicitly loaded in every product. It contains properties of the current build environment, independent of the used programming languages and toolchains.
buildVariant
Type: | string |
Default: | "debug" |
Contains the name of the build variant for the current build.
debugInformation
Type: | bool |
Default: | true for debug builds, false otherwise |
Specifies whether to generate debug information.
enableDebugCode
Type: | bool |
Default: | true for debug builds, false otherwise |
Specifies whether to compile debug code in the product. This is typically enabled for debug builds and disabled for release builds.
optimization
Type: | string |
Allowed Values: | "none", "fast", "small" |
Default: | "none" for debug builds, "fast" for release builds |
Specifies the general type of optimization that should be performed by all toolchains.
hostOS
Type: | stringList (read only) |
This property is set by Qbs internally and specifies the OS Qbs is running on. The possible values for this property are the values of targetOS, though some may not be supported.
hostOSVersion
Type: | string (read only) |
The host operating system version. Currently only defined for Windows and OS X. Consists of two or three numbers separated by dots, for instance "10.9" or "6.3.9600".
hostOSBuildVersion
Type: | string (read only) |
The host operating system's build version. Currently only defined for Windows and OS X. On Windows, this is the 4 or 5 digit Windows build number and is equivalent to versionPatch. On OS X, this is a standard build number in the Apple versioning scheme, for instance "13C64".
versionMajor
Type: | int |
Default: | hostOSVersionParts[0] |
The host operating system major version.
versionMinor
Type: | int |
Default: | hostOSVersionParts[1] |
The host operating system minor version.
versionParts
Type: | list |
Default: | empty |
The host operating system version as a list. For instance, Windows 8.1 (version 6.3.9600) would correspond to a value of [6, 3, 9600].
versionPatch
Type: | int |
Default: | hostOSVersionParts[2] |
The host operating system patch level.
targetOS
Type: | stringList |
Possible Values: | one or more of: "aix", "android", "blackberry", "bsd", "bsd4", "bsdi", "cygwin", "darwin", "dgux", "dynix", "freebsd", "hpux", "hurd", "integrity", "ios", "ios-simulator", "irix", "linux", "lynx", "osx", "msdos", "nacl", "netbsd", "openbsd", "os2", "os2emx", "osf", "qnx", "qnx6", "reliant", "sco", "solaris", "symbian", "ultrix", "unix", "unixware", "vxworks", "windows", "windowsce", "windowsphone", "winrt" |
Specifies the OS you want to build the project for. This is typically set in a profile.
architecture
Type: | string |
Specifies the target platform's processor architecture. This is typically set in a profile. Currently used values are: "x86", "x86_64" and "arm".
endianness
Type: | string |
Allowed Values: | "big", "little", "mixed" |
Default: | undefined |
Specifies the endianness of the target platform's processor architecture.
toolchain
Type: | stringList |
Allowed Values: | "gcc", "llvm", "clang", "mingw", "msvc" |
Specifies the attributes of the toolchain that is going to be used for this build.
sysroot
Type: | string |
Default: | undefined |
Specifies the sysroot of the target platform. This property is typically set in a profile for cross-compiling.
install
Type: | bool |
Default: | false |
Specifies whether to install a certain set of files. This is typically set in a Group item to mark a number of files as installable.
installDir
Type: | string |
Default: | undefined |
Specifies the installation directory for the files of a product or a Group. The value of this property is a path that is relative to installPrefix.
installPrefix
Type: | string |
Default: | empty |
Specifies the global installation prefix. It is implicitly prepended to all values of installDir. The installPrefix itself is relative to the install root, which is not a property of Qbs, but an external installation parameter.
pathListSeparator
Type: | string |
Holds the platform-specific separator for path list that is used in environment variables or other contexts. E.g. on Windows is this ";", on Unix derivatives ":".
