Why are .pro files parsed three times?

This is by design. The default configuration on Windows is debug_and_release, and this results in qmake parsing the .pro file multiple times: once for debug, once for release, and once for the master makefile. Note that qmake also generates three files:

  • Makefile
  • Makefile.debug
  • Makefile.release
