Overview of this book

Qt is a powerful development framework that serves as a complete toolset for building cross-platform applications, helping you reduce development time and improve productivity. Completely revised and updated to cover C++17 and the latest developments in Qt 5.12, this comprehensive guide is the third edition of Application Development with Qt Creator. You'll start by designing a user interface using Qt Designer and learn how to instantiate custom messages, forms, and dialogues. You'll then understand Qt's support for multithreading, a key tool for making applications responsive, and the use of Qt's Model-View-Controller (MVC) to display data and content. As you advance, you'll learn to draw images on screen using Graphics View Framework and create custom widgets that interoperate with Qt Widgets. This Qt programming book takes you through Qt Creator's latest features, such as Qt Quick Controls 2, enhanced CMake support, a new graphical editor for SCXML, and a model editor. You'll even work with multimedia and sensors using Qt Quick, and finally develop applications for mobile, IoT, and embedded devices using Qt Creator. By the end of this Qt book, you'll be able to create your own cross-platform applications from scratch using Qt Creator and the C++ programming language.

Sometimes, you need to build a project from the command line. Maybe you're working on Linux and you're just more comfortable there, or you've got a remote session running on your desktop while you're in a meeting. Or, maybe you want to automate builds on a build server and need to know how Qt performs its compilation magic for your builds.

Building using qmake

The trick lies in qmake: Qt's meta-make system that manages the generation of make files for the compiler toolchain you have already installed. The qmake command takes the .pro files, which you first saw in Chapter 2, Building Applications with Qt Creator, and generates the make or nmake file...
