Hi all,
I have addressed the problem of having one single batch file being
executable both under Windows and Linux. Actually I wanted to run the
qmake command of QT4, a multiplatform library working under Windows
and Linux, from both OSes. I know many can reply that generally you
can have two different files, one for each OS, but I started with this
goal in mind and then it became a challenge. After trying a bit,
playing with the strangest tricks of the two batch languages (bat and
bash), I ended up with this solution. It is not very "clear" but it
works, even if it has the drawback of printing some instruction (echo
off, off, ..) at the beginning. If someone has a nicer solution please
do let me know.
Ciao,
Luca
Batch file: doqmake.bat
---------------------------------
echo off
echo ; set +v # > NUL
echo ; function GOTO { true; } # > NUL
GOTO WIN
# bash part, replace it to suit your needs
qmake -project -nopwd -o $*
if [ -e qtoptions.txt ]
then
cat qtoptions.txt >> $1
fi
rm -f Makefile*
read -p "Press Enter to continue..."
exit 0
:WIN
REM win part, replace it to suit your needs
ECHO ON
qmake -project -nopwd -o %*
IF EXIST qtoptions.txt TYPE qtoptions.txt >> %1
IF EXIST Makefile* DEL Makefile*
@PAUSE
