In this case there is just one file, <em>hello.cpp</em>. Most applications retquire multiple files; this situation is dealt with by listing all the files on the same line space separated, like this:</p> +<pre> + SOURCES = hello.cpp main.cpp +</pre> +<p>Alternatively, each file can be listed on a separate line, by escaping the newlines, like this:</p> +<pre> + SOURCES = hello.cpp \ + main.cpp +</pre> +<p>A more verbose approach is to list each file separately, like this:</p> +<pre> + SOURCES += hello.cpp + SOURCES += main.cpp +</pre> +<p>This approach uses "+=" rather than "=" which is safer, because it always adds a new file to the existing list rather than replacing the list.</p> +<p>The HEADERS line is used to specify the header files created for use by the application, e.g.</p> +<pre> + HEADERS += hello.h +</pre> +<p>Any of the approaches used to list source files may be used for header files.</p> +<p>The CONFIG line is used to give <em>qmake</em> information about the application's configuration.</p> +<pre> + CONFIG += qt warn_on release +</pre> +<p>The "+=" is used here, because we add our configuration options to any that are already present. This is safer than using "=" which replaces all options with just those specified.</p> +<p>The <em>qt</em> part of the CONFIG line tells <em>qmake</em> that the application is built using TQt. This means that <em>qmake</em> will link against the TQt libraries when linking and add in the neccesary include paths for compiling.</p> +<p>The <em>warn_on</em> part of the CONFIG line tells <em>qmake</em> that it should set the compiler flags so that warnings are output.</p> +<p>The <em>release</em> part of the CONFIG line tells <em>qmake</em> that the application must be built as a release application. During development, programmers may prefer to replace <em>release</em> with <em>debug</em>, which is discussed later.</p> +<p>Project files are plain text (i.e. use an editor like notepad, vim or xemacs) and must be saved with a '.pro' extension. The name of the application's executable will be the same as the project file's name, but with an extension appropriate to the platform. For example, a project file called 'hello.pro' will produce 'hello.exe' on Windows and 'hello' on Unix.</p> +<h3><a name="2"></a>Generating a makefile</h3> +<p>When you have created your project file it is very easy to generate a makefile, all you need to do is go to where you have created your project file and type:</p> +<p>Makefiles are generated from the '.pro' files like this:</p> +<pre> + qmake -o Makefile hello.pro +</pre> +<p>For Visual Studio users, <em>qmake</em> can also generate '.dsp' files, for example:</p> +<pre> + qmake -t vcapp -o hello.dsp hello.pro +</pre> +<!-- eof --> +<p align="right">[<a href="qmake-manual-2.html">Prev: Installing qmake</a>] [<a href="qmake-manual.html">Home</a>] [<a href="qmake-manual-4.html">Next: qmake Tutorial</a>]</p> +<p><address><hr><div align=center> +<table width=100% cellspacing=0 border=0><tr> +<td>Copyright © 2007 +<a href="troll.html">Trolltech</a><td align=center><a href="trademarks.html">Trademarks</a> +<td align=right><div align=right>TQt 3.3.8</div> +</table></div></address></body> +</html> |
