Problem: Under OS X, qmake automatically generates an XCode project from a qmake project file.  How do I force it to make a standard gcc makefile?

Unless you have configured Qt when you build it, the default under Mac OS X is to generate an XCode project.  The way to generate a "standard" gcc makefile is to pass the "-spec macxg++" switches on the command line:

   1: qmake -spec macx-g++ 

Additionally, you should place the following into your project file in order to stop it from generating the app_bundle:

   1: mac { 

   2:   CONFIG -= app_bundle 

   3: }
