Qbs

About

Qbs is a tool that makes the build process simpler when developing projects across multiple platforms. You can use Qbs for any software project, regardless of the programming language, toolkit, or libraries that you use.

Qbs provides the following benefits:

• Declarative paradigm
• Well-defined language
• Platform and programming language independence
• Correct and fast incremental builds
• Extensible architecture
• Easy integration to IDEs

Download

If you want to give it a try, Qbs installation packages are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD:

• Qt Downloads
• Chocolatey
• MacPorts
• Homebrew
• Linux and FreeBSD Distributions

You can also build Qbs locally from sources, as described in Building Qbs.

Documentation

Qbs is extensively documented in the Qbs Manual. It provides overviews of the Qbs language and usage, as well as how-to information about particular use cases. The reference contains in-depth descriptions of the language items, built-in services, command line tools, modules, and commands.
