qmake, the make-file generator of the QT toolchain
If you want to compile a QT program, than you usually type:
qmake make sudo make install
This is easy.
The program "qmake" is doing two things:
- it executes a preprocessor, that is needed for many features of QT programs and generates C++ source code
- it creates a "Makefile"
After this step, the "Makefile" can be interpreted by the make program.
The make program calls the compiler and the linker.
