Motivation

TOC Building large projects with external dependencies is complex. Qt has its build system and supports both qmake and cmake, but none are easy to be used with complex projects with multiple subprojects and external project dependencies. In order to ease the process of creating these projects, you can find all over the Targoman repository we have made some qmake pri files and shell scripts.

Sample projects

TOC Sample projects can be found in QBuildSystem-sampleLibrary and QBuildSystem-sampleApp repositories.
