alike Eclipse. there you can import makefile, vs projects etc.

mike4, can you elaborate? What do you mean by import?
Opening it? Then you just need to go to File->Open Project or File.
Adding it as subproject to your project? Just copy it near your sources and modify your .pro-file (or add new one with SUBDIRS).

this is a makefile project with hundreds of files. in eclipse i do a new empty project and simply click to import all files, all done and ready to compile.-
Thanks

If you simply need to add all files to your project then you can use Add Existing Files option in created project.
If you need to import makefile too then afaik New Project->Other Project->Import Existing Project will help you.

Thanks haven’t seen this…only few days with qtcreator. Now at the end of compiling it asks for an executable file. What does that mean?
thanks again

Probably in makefile-based projects (never used them in QtCreator) you need to set executable to run in project settings.

imported now it says no target etc. set. how could i use the existing makefile?

mike4, not sure, never used it.

P.S. moved to tools, btw

Have you checked the documentation [doc.qt.nokia.com]?

Is there something in it that is not clear? How can we improve it?
