Hello

Re: The simple form,What is the difference between cmake and qmake?
They are build systems or build instruction generators.
Both take their respective form of project file as input and process them into platform and build tools specific instructions, so that the build tools can then build the application or library.
qmake is the default generator of Qt and has a very simple project file format.
cmake is an advanced generator that has more complex input files but can also achieve things such as finding dependencies, etc.
