What is "qbs"

Qbs is a cross-platform free and open-source software for managing the build process of software. It is designed to support large, complex projects, written in any number of programming languages, primarily C/ C++.

Qbs is an all-in-one tool that generates a build graph from a high-level project description (like its predecessor qmake), and additionally undertakes the task of executing the commands in the low-level build graph (like make). Because Qbs does not generate or rely on Makefiles, this results in incredibly fast incremental builds compared to make or makefile generators like qmake or CMake.

Qbs was created by The Qt Company, and is distributed along with the Qt toolkit. It integrates with the Qt framework, and automates the creation of moc (meta object compiler) and rcc (resource compiler) sources, which are used in Qt's meta-object system and in the integration of binary resources (e.g. pictures). The developers hope to eventually push for Qbs to replace qmake as Qt's own build system.

QBS, is the second official sub-group of South Korean girl group, T-ara formed in 2013 and based in Japan. The sub-group consists of three members: Qri, Boram, Soyeon.
