Qmake
lastmod 2026-11-10created 2014-03-302 edits
qmake is a build automation tool included in the Qt framework that reads .pro project files and generates platform-appropriate Makefiles or Visual Studio projects. Variables such as source lists, include paths, DEFINES, and QT modules are described declaratively, and Qt preprocessing steps such as moc and uic are handled automatically. Recent versions of Qt recommend CMake as the default build system, but qmake is still widely used in existing projects.
