What about a native build system for Qt Creator?
-
- Occasionally, I just have to rebuild the whole project for modification to work. Is it true or I've done something wrong?
- When modify a file, and rebuild, does qmake have to check all the files to see if it is update to date?
If Qt Creator has a native build system(like that in Visual Studio) that can track changes in file system level,
it must have a much better user experience, I think IDE is import for popularity.BTW, there are some that track changed in file system level, e.g. http://gittup.org/tup/

You've probably done something wrong or your project is so complicated that make looses track of what's what.

qmake just generates make files. It's the "make" (or "nmake/jom" in case of MSVC toolchain) that looks at what changed, what are the dependencies and what needs recompiling/relinking.
If Qt Creator has a native build system(like that in Visual Studio)
Qt Creator supports a couple of different build systems - qmake, qbs and CMake are some of them. Those systems generate make files for the "native" make, configured for each platform and toolchain via Kits.
