[Qt-interest] Ulternative to qmake

[Daniel Price]

  I'm late to the party, but I'll note that there's *NOTHING* magical
  about qmake that makes its use mandatory; you can build Qt
  apps using any build system you like.

Unless you happen to be use Qt Creator which is geared towards QMake. While it is possible to use other build systems with it, it's very hard work.

Yogesh:

  I'm late to the party, but I'll note that there's *NOTHING* magical
  about qmake that makes its use mandatory; you can build Qt
  apps using any build system you like. For historical reasons,
  the project I'm currently working on is built using gmake and
  we never use qmake at all.

  Qmake is just a convenient short-cut for a lot of people because
  it's very easy to explain to people that the entire build procedure
  for a Qt project is, from scratch, simply:


 1.  qmake -project
 2.  qmake
 3.  make

  whereas other methods where you create your own makefiles
  require that you be able to, well, *CREATE* your own makefiles.
  But as Daniel observes, if you *HAVE* created your own makefiles,
  then everything is fully transparent and visible; there's no "magic"
  being hidden by qmake (and qmake hides *LOTS* of magic from
  the casual developer).

  Basically, to build a Qt app, you:


 1.  uic any .ui files you have into .h files
 2.  moc any .h files that contain the Q_OBJECT macro into moc_blahblahblah.cpp files
 3.  compile all the .cpp files into .o files
 4.  link the resulting .o files (and .a/.so libraries) into your target object

  For simple projects, steps 3 and 4 are combined.

Hallo group,
What are the other way to compile my project then qmake?
qmake is not working in my laptop anymore, whenever I start it hangs and nothing happens.
Is there another way to build a project?

Regards,
Yogesh Upreti
