    Hi,

    new to this as you will soon be aware of. Haven't found an answer to my question so I'd appreciate it if someone could take a few minutes.

    When i run qmake from the command prompt in a folder where are my files are, does qmake do anything more than create (or overwrite as in my case) the Makefile and create a .pro file with the same name as the folder I am currently in? Do qmake modify any other files than the Makefile and does it create any other files than the one i listed?

    Thanks

      There is some really nice easy to understand notes on QMake and what it does here:

      "http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-manual.html":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qmake-manual.html

      I think that it answers your questions, but if you still not sure post back. Essentially it does the grunt work for creating makefiles (but can do more for Qt projects)

        Thanks. Seems like it was overwriting my previous Makefile and with qmake -project the .pro file was generated.
