I want the compiled application to have the commit number, source files checksums and other things to be available during the compilation.

In plain Makefiles I do like this:

prog: VERSION source.c
    gcc -DVERSION=\"$(shell cat VERSION)\" source.c -o prog 

VERSION: .git
    git describe > VERSION

How to use something similar with qmake?

version-control qmake prebuild build-numbers
