Getting values from pro files in Qt

Question

I am using Qt 4.5 in Windows XP. My pro file has the variable VERSION = 1.0. Now i need to read this variable and get its value (1.0) from the source c

Answer 1

Use somethings like this:

DEFINES += VERSION=\\\"$$VERSION\\\"

This will define a macro that you can use in C source code. Get rid of the backslashes and quotes if you want a number, not a string.
