[Qt-interest] Just QMake

[Girish Ramakrishnan]

I think he did mean to ask how to compile qmake easily :-)

The simplest way is to run configure, as Nathan suggested. If you want
to do it the harder way.
- cd into qmake and compile it with the Makefile.* present in the
directory. Before you start using the Makefile, you have to set the
variable in the makefile (listed in the top). And then, mingw32-make -f
Makefile.win32-g++ (subsitute Makefile.* appropriate for your compiler).
This is exactly what configure does, it is probably simpler to ^C after
it builds qmake :-)
