===
Qbs is a cross-platform build tool.
The project's homepage is http://wiki.qt.io/qbs

Supported Platforms
===================

Windows XP SP2 or later
macOS 10.6 or later
Linux (tested on Debian 6/7 and Ubuntu 13)

Building the sources requires Qt 5.1.0 or later.

Build Instructions
==================
Prerequisites:
   * Qt 5.1.0 or later
   * On Windows:
     -  MinGW or Visual Studio
   * On macOS: Xcode

The installed toolchains have to match the one Qt was compiled with.

You can build Qbs with

    cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY
    qmake -r
    make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)

Installation ("make install") is not needed. It is however possible, using

    make install INSTALL_ROOT=$INSTALL_DIRECTORY
