Qt - qmake -project, why is it stuck?

Question

I'm trying to execute the qmake -project command by doing:

C:\\Qt\\2010.05\\qt>qmake -project

But, it remains there and doesn't get executed. Why is that?

Thanks.

Answer 1

qmake -project without any additional arguments will traverse the current directory recursively, looking for eg source, header and UI files to be included in the .pro file. When you run it in a directory containing lots of files (such as Qt folder), it can take a lot of time to go through all of them. Thats why it seems to get stuck.
