NAME

       qmake - cross-platform makefile generator for Qt

SYNOPSIS

       qmake [mode] [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       QMake  has  two modes, one mode for generating project files based on some heuristics, and
       the other for generating makefiles. Normally you shouldn't need  to  specify  a  mode,  as
       makefile  generation  is the default mode for qmake, but you may use this to test qmake on
       an existing project.

MODE

       -project
              Put qmake into project file generation mode. In this mode qmake interprets files as
              files to be built, defaults to *.c; *.ui; *.y; *.l; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc; *.h; *.hpp;
              *.hh; *.hxx; *.H; *.cpp; *.cc; *.cxx; *.C.

       -makefile
              Put qmake into makefile generation mode (default). In this  mode  qmake  interprets
              files as project files to be processed, if skipped qmake will try to find a project
              file in your current working directory.
