in qmake I have
REPC_SOURCE = rpc/SomeRPC.rep
and it generates rep_SomeRPC_source.h in the root of the project. I would like to store it somewhere else to keep root as clean as possible.
Documentation says repc creates the rep_SimpleSwitch_source.h header in the build directory that you specify. But how to specify build directory?
The only option I see is to change OUT_PWD, but documentation says Do not attempt to overwrite the value of this variable.
The build directory is the folder where you run qmake (in your case it seems to be the project folder) causing the unwanted effect of obtaining a folder with the source code, intermediate files and binaries.
Instead use a different folder where you run qmake:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake /path/of/project-directory
make
