<p>Writing makefiles by hand can be difficult and error prone, especially if several makefiles are required for different compiler and platform combinations. With <em>qmake</em>, developers create a simple single 'project' file and run <em>qmake</em> to generate the appropriate makefiles. <em>qmake</em> takes care of all the compiler and platform dependencies, freeing developers to focus on their code.
