Discovering qmake Secrets

This chapter addresses the issue of creating a cross-platform application that relies on platform-specific code. We will see the impact of qmake on the compilation of your project.

You will learn how to create a system-monitoring application that retrieves the average CPU load and the memory used from Windows, Linux, and macOS. For this kind of OS-dependent application, architecture is the key to keeping your application reliable and maintainable.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to create and organize a cross-platform application that uses platform-specific code and displays Qt Charts widgets. Moreover, qmake will not be a mystery anymore.

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • Designing a cross-platform project
