View source for Generate Makefiles instead of Xcode projects on macOS

[[Category:Tools::qmake]]

If you call qmake from the prebuilt binaries of Qt, it produces Xcode project files (xxx.xcodeproj) instead of makefiles. You can create regular makefiles with these commands:

<code>
rm -rf hello.xcodeproj
rm Info.plist
 
qmake -spec macx-g++
</code>

If you want to create makefiles by default, you can tell qmake by executing the following commands:

<code>
cd $QTDIR/mkspecs
rm default

ln -s macx-g++ default
</code>
