\section1 Introduction to qmake

\e qmake is a tool created by Trolltech to help create makefiles for your development projects.

It can be a difficult and tedious task to create makefiles for your development projects, especially if you are developing on more than one platform and with 
different compilers.  \e qmake handles the makefile generation for you, so that you can spend more time developing rather than creating makefiles.

\e qmake has additional features for generating makefile for Qt applications which include ensuring the relevant defines are set and the appropriate steps for
using moc and uic are put in.
