At this time, I don't want because I find QMake is quit easy and 
effective. I tried to use CMake before and I found it complicated and 
many projects didn't compile by it.

Fine, it's nice option, But I'm not planning to leave QMake, if you know 
any other tool could work for me I'll be glad when you tell me about it.

In mean time, I'm googling and searching about this tool in 
http://sourceforge.net/ and https://launchpad.net/ to see if there is a 
tool works for my request.
