- Most wizards create projects that use the Qt build tool, qmake. It is a

- process for development projects across different platforms. qmake
- automates the generation of build configurations so that only a few lines
- of information are needed to create each configuration. For more

qmake, Qbs, or CMake, but do not use the Qt library.
