Qmake incorrect target generation

[chatru]

I have a .pro file that looks like this:
@BASEDIR = ../../..
CLEBS *= buildplugin apextools apexdata apexmain
TARGET = maintest
TEMPLATE = app
include($$BASEDIR/clebs.pri)

CONFIG *= qtestlib

QT *= testlib gui

SOURCES *=
apexmaintest.cpp \

HEADERS *=
apexmaintest.h
@

But, the makefile it produces has the following targets:

@QMAKE_TARGET = maintest
DESTDIR = ../../../bin/debug/
TARGET = libmaintest.so
TARGETD = libmaintest.so@

Accordingly gcc produces a library. However I want an executable to be produced as specified in the .pro file.

I dont understand why this awkward thing is happening? Any pointers are appreciated.

Thank you

P.S. this is the .pro file for a unit test using qtestlib framework.
