QConf simplifies the configuration of qmake-based projects by providing a user-friendly script. This software allows for easy customization and setup of your project.
One of the primary advantages of qconf is that it builds on what Qt already knows. Qt has already solved many of the differences among various Unix platforms, particularly in the areas of files, sockets, and data types. This means that qconf does not need to perform as many checks or output as much data as other configuration software. For instance, to determine an unsigned 32-bit integer, the answer is simply Q_UINT32.
QConf is ideal for developers working in GNU, BSD, and Solaris environments. It also supports dependency checking, enabling developers to add custom processing as needed.
To use QConf, download the QConf project and copy the 'configure' script into your project. When run, the script performs various checks, creates conf.pri, and runs qmake on your .pro file. As an additional benefit, none of your project files are modified. It is up to you to include conf.pri in your .pro file. For more details, see the README.
Overall, QConf is a useful tool for developers who want to maintain a cross-platform project without relying on the more complicated GNU autotools.
