QMake message not printing

Question

All, I am attempting to work with a monolithic build system given to me by someone else (isn't that always the case?) and wanted to add some debug statements for myself.

The main .pro file uses a subdir template with the concept of:

SUBDIRS += durp-dir

durp-dir.file = Durp/durp.pro

When I add a message("In Durp") to durp.pro it never gets printed. I can't figure out what I'm missing. I'm using QT 4.8 ... Still examining the qmake documentation with no leads.

Answer 1

Run qmake -r instead of just qmake
