Execute shell command using qmake

Question

I want to execute a shell command using qmake. The command is :

idlpp -S -l cpp MyModel.idl

This processes my IDL and generates some .cpp and .h files that I am including in my project. Right now I am executing it manually from a terminal but I want it to be automatically done when I run qmake.

What should I add in my .pro file? Is there something equivalent to the execute_process() used by cmake?

Answer 1

Use system() function in .pro file
