Description

Qmake is a powerful, open source, cross-platform build system created by Qt Software. It is a build system that takes a list of source files and headers, together with build instructions, and produces a makefile. This makefile can then be used to build a project either from within the qmake environment or from the command line. Qmake is a meta-makefile generator, meaning that it creates makefiles from a set of project-specific variables and a set of platform and compiler-dependent configuration files. It is primarily used for developing Qt-based applications, but can be used for any type of software development. Qmake is a very flexible tool, allowing developers to set up their build environment to suit their specific needs. It can also be used to generate project files for IDEs such as Visual Studio, Xcode, KDevelop and others.
