qmake, afaiaa, doesnt compile anything, but it makes the Makefile that will be used by make/mingw to compile

For what its worth, when I started out with QtCreator, I just installed the official nokia version, read the example apps and started writing. I don't really know c++ (i'm .net/java), hence you'll find me in irc asking really newbie questions.. but it all seemed to work quite well and painlessly.

Installing MADDE and getting the bugger to work on the n900 was different, but now i'm kinda on with the concept that qmake makes makefiles, and makefiles do the donkey work.. even to perform a clean, I have to qmake, then clean, then build. I usually do these things explicitly because sometimes when I switch config the IDE doesnt realise and builds for the wrong target (this doesnt happen if you have only one target)
