<h3><a name="1"></a>Introduction to qmake</h3>
<p><em>qmake</em> is a tool created by Trolltech to write makefiles for different compilers and platforms.</p>
<p>Writing makefiles by hand can be difficult and error prone, especially if several makefiles are required for different compiler and platform combinations. With <em>qmake</em>, developers create a simple single 'project' file and run <em>qmake</em> to generate the appropriate makefiles. <em>qmake</em> takes care of all the compiler and platform dependencies, freeing developers to focus on their code. Trolltech uses <em>qmake</em> as the primary build tool for the Qt library, and for the tools supplied with Qt.</p>
<p><em>qmake</em> also takes care of Qt's special requirements, automatically including build rules for <a href="moc.html">moc</a> and <em>uic</em>.</p>
