Effective multi platform development with Qt, Creator, QBS, and QEMU
summary
Shows how Qt Creator, QBS, and QEMU are used together to cross‑compile and test: using clang + lld and a mounted macOS partition to produce macOS binaries, using mingw or a GCC shim for Windows, and running images in QEMU. Demonstrates packaging Qt apps, building parts of Qt itself with QBS, and proposes a “QBS Linux” image workflow. Presents benchmark numbers: 16% faster bootstrap, then modules 35% slower in one setup, but ~25% faster with PCH disabled.
