Brand new to QT. With my hatred (read that inability to remember syntax) of makefiles, I'm trying to port over a fairly complex hand-build build system to use qmake, one directory at a time.

The current makefile (hand-built) generates a static library and then generates two application binaries. I've managed to get most of the big pieces to build using a qmake generated Makefile, but I can't figure out how to get it to build the static lib first, then two different applications.

I'm sure there are some solutions that involve moving things into subdirectories and giving each binary it's own makefile, but I'd like to avoid those...this project is complicated enough, and changing one simple thing invariably complicates matters down the road, so I've learned to become choosy about rashly making structural decisions without having too much info.

Help much appreciated.
