qmake is a tool created by Trolltech to write makefiles for different compilers and platforms.
Writing makefiles by hand can be difficult and error prone, especially if several makefiles are required for different compiler and platform combinations. With qmake, developers create a simple single 'project' file and run qmake to generate the appropriate makefiles. qmake takes care of all the compiler and platform dependencies, freeing developers to focus on their code. Trolltech uses qmake as the primary build tool for the Qt library, and for the tools supplied with Qt.
qmake also takes care of Qt's special requirements, automatically including build rules for moc and uic.
