If you call qmake from the prebuilt binaries of Qt, it produces Xcode project files (xxx.xcodeproj) instead of makefiles. You can create regular makefiles with these commands:

rm -rf hello.xcodeporj
rm Info.plist
 
qmake -spec macx-g++

If you want to create makefiles by default, you can tell qmake by executing the following commands:

cd $QTDIR/mkspecs
rm default

ln -s macx-g++ default
