QMAKE(1)

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.

WARNINGS OPTIONS

-Wnone
    Turn off all warnings; specific ones may be re-enabled by later -W options
