[Interest] qmake: questions regarding huge projects

[Rainer Wiesenfarth]

I would like to ask for some "expert tutorial" or some hints for using 
qmake with huge projects.

What is huge? Our complete package consists of >50 applications build 
based on >100 libraries (organized in modules and units). On Windows, we 
use a Visual Studio solution file containing 250 projects, the 
application projects use "Properties" / "Framework and References" to 
refer to those libraries needed for this specific application.

Now I would like to setup build system on Linux for a part of our 
package. Currently we use a own Makefile based approach that has some 
disadvantages. What I would like to have is a solution based on qmake 
(ideally) that satisfies these conditions:

- if an application A depends on a library B, it is sufficient to define 
this only once ("needs"), not multiple times ("depends on" + "build 
after" + "link with" + ...)

- if I build a single application, only those libraries are build that 
are needed for this application

- if the whole package is build, each library is ideally built only once

- build steps run in parallel on multiple cores

Could anyone of you point me to examples or docs that might help me to 
find this solution?

Best Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Rainer Wiesenfarth
