[Qt-interest] which build tools to use?

[Glenn Hughes]

Hi all,

I'm just starting in on a large Qt project, and I was wondering if anyone
had opinions on the best build process to use. I'm working under OS X for
now. The project has several thousand source files in dozens of directories
that build into a couple of OS X Frameworks, plus several dylibs.

Has anyone figured out how to build using only XCode, i.e. not involving
qmake at  all? I'm currently using only XCode, so this approach would
probably require the smallest initial time investment (but might not be a
good long-term solution).

If that's not an option, what about CMake? (Seems powerful, but
complicated...)

Does anyone have an example of how to do a large multi-target project in
qmake with an OS X application as the output? All the examples I've seen are
too simplistic for me to use as starting points...

So, any advice or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Glenn
