Well I guess it is fairly special - I'm compiling stuff for a microcontroller using gcc for arm embedded. It needs specific flags and linker scripts and so on. Is there any documentation on profiles? The only thing I could find was on listing them with the qbs binary which I don't have (since I'm using Qt Creator). If I made a profile would I be able to make it automatically find the arm gcc, and could I distribute it with my code easily?
Thanks for the info Denis!
