SubProject Item

A SubProject item is used to add a project defined in another file as a sub-project to the surrounding project:

    SubProject {
        filePath: "subdir/project.qbs"
        Properties {
            name: "A sub-project"
        }
    }

If you don't need to set any properties on the sub-project, you can also use the references property, the same way you would do for a product:

    references: "subdir/project.qbs"

It is also possible to nest Project items directly in the same file.

inheritPropertiesbooltrueWhether the sub-project should inherit the properties of the surrounding project. You can use this feature to share "global" settings between (sub-)projects.
