No, make reads the file "Makefile".  The Makefile has the
instructions that make needs to (re)compile the program source
file(s).

"SleepyHeadQT.pro" is a "project" file, which I assume (HAH!) is
read by qmake.  I could be worng, of course.

Read the file .../3rdparty/qextserialport/README in the SleepyHead
sources.  Also, take a look at the web site

    <http://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/>

(referenced in the README file).  Those should tell you what you
need, I think.  It looks to me like you'll have to build and
install the qextserialport package on your own.

Hope this helps.
