Qt-UI

Compilation with Q Make

← Widget Size | ● | Compilation with CMake →

Supposed we have a single cpp module named “main.cpp” that contains our Qt exmaple, we compile it using the QMake platform independent build system with the following QMake project description file: 

TARGET = main
TEMPLATE = app

QT += core gui

SOURCES += main.cpp

QMake takes the project description file (e.g. “main.pro”) and transforms it into a project representation that is suitable for the respective platform:

  • On Unix it will produce a “Makefile” to be compiled with “make” on the command line.
  • On Mac it will produce a XCode project description (.xcode)to be opened with XCode IDE.
  • On Windows it will produce a MSCV project solution (.sln) to be opened with the M$$$ Visual C++ IDE.

On Unix we type the following command to compile: 

qmake && make

On Mac we type the following command to compile: 

qmake -spec macx-g++ && make
