CDT does not find qmake (Mac OS X) [message #156464]

I'm working on a project with qt on mac OS X.

My makefile is
//...
all:
cd src; qmake; make
//..
qmake is in /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.0.1/bin/ and the
PATH is defined in my .profile.

In a terminal there is no problem.

In eclipse I have the following error:
cd src; qmake; make
/bin/sh: line 1: qmake: command not found
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

Is it a bug from cdt ? Or do I have to set the complete
path (local dependant) to qmake in my makefile ?

thanks

Just wondering, why don't you use "cd src && qmake && make"?

I would bet that when you add "echo $PATH" to the above, qmake will not be
in the path.

Most probably this is due to the fact the /bin/sh is invoked as a
non-interactive shell, and hence doesn't read ~/.profile on start-up. The
man page on sh should give you the gory details on this.
