Like I said... it depends on what is being taught.

I completely disagree. C++ is complex enough without
having to worry about introducing makefiles and toolchains to
students, particularly non-standard, platform-specific makefiles
and toolchains.

this is a level one C++ course, I would recommend editing
the make file manually so the students have some basic
understanding of what a makefile is and how it relates to
project management. Then you can move to CMake or qmake
or whatever makefile generator makes sense and see what
these tools do for you as your projects become more
complex.

You can do that but it means
using qmake which is rather unforgiving and cludgy.
It's nice to have confidence in your tools. Plus it
mean every student would need the Qt sdk. You'd much
rather spend your time productively than trying to
figure what qmake is not linking your libraries
because you got the order of the variables wrong.
Again, I would really recommend CMake. A project
is just a single text file which you can process
with a GUI tool to generate the make files for your
platform.

Wow. So much
trouble/hassle :(
I think I'd rather recommend just making a Qt
Console application and
editing the project file to remove 'core' from
$$QT.
The lecturer can then just this project to
quickly 'type, compile, run'
stuff, with the console output at the bottom of
the page.
Perhaps bigger generic projects would benefit
from following the
instructions below, but it's too much effort
compared to his current
tool for me to be able to recommend it.
Thanks though,
Max.
