+    <para>
+        If you need to set any configuration variables or pass any options to
+        <filename>qmake</filename>, you can add these to the
+        <link linkend='var-EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE'><filename>EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE</filename></link>
+        or
+        <link linkend='var-EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_POST'><filename>EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_POST</filename></link>
+        variables, depending on whether the arguments need to be before or
+        after the <filename>.pro</filename> file list on the command line,
+        respectively.

+
+    <para>
+        By default, all <filename>.pro</filename> files are built.
+        If you want to specify your own subset of <filename>.pro</filename>
+        files to be built, specify them in the
+        <link linkend='var-QMAKE_PROFILES'><filename>QMAKE_PROFILES</filename></link>
