Is Qmake going to be abandoned?

We are going to use CMAKE for future QT projects, right?
Why can't I build Qt and QtCreator with Qmake?
If I want to develop Qt. Can I just open the.pro project?
Do i need to execute the script in the source directory? Such as syncqt.pl?

Because those two projects use cmake as build system and not qmake.

Yes

"Why can't I build Qt and QtCreator with Qmake?" - Qt5 can be built with QMake. Qt6 switched to CMake. Does it make a difference for you whether you have to call cmake or qmake to build Qt/QtCreator?

"If I want to develop Qt. Can I just open the.pro project?" - sure, why not? Or do you mean you want to build Qt?

"Do i need to execute the script in the source directory? Such as syncqt.pl?" - what you need to do is described here: https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git

Not exactly, current Qt Creator main branch can be built with both :-)

@jsulm I mean develop the Qt code of itself.
Use QTCreator directly to open the . pro in source directory.
It is not able to create a complete project.

Which module are you talking about ?

If qtbase, then you have to properly configure it first.
