# QtCompile - Meta stage for Compiling Qt Projects

Meta stage for compiling Qt-based projects. It will create [`QMake`](./QMake.md) and [`Make`](./Make.md) stages for both Makefile generation and program compilation.

Behavior:
- Runs the `qmake` command for the given Qt `.pro` file
- Then, runs the Makefile generated by `qmake` with the given arguments
- See [`QMake`](./QMake.md) and [`Make`](./Make.md)

## Config

```
qMake:
  projectFiles: [String]?         # target files to run against, which can sometimes be no targets [default: ""]
  args: [String]?                 # arguments to the `qmake` command
  additional_packages: [String]?  # any additional package to install as dependency to the container [default: []]
```

### Example

```yaml
qtCompile:
  projectFiles: ["dummy-project.pro"]
  qMakeArgs: ["-Wall"]
  makeArgs: ["-j4"]
```

## Report

The meta stage with generate both reports for [`QMake`](./QMake.md) and [`Make`](./Make.md). Please refer to the respective stages for reference.
