Question

How can I compile a .pro file?
I understood that it is a Qt file. which IDE should I use and which environment?
Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

it could be other thing than a Qt file... refer to that link to know more about .pro extension files:

Answer 2

pro file in qt is Project file. You cannot compile them as they are not standard in C++. You use qmake to makefile them.

According to your version of qt, there might be difference between each versions of pro files. Here is a tutorial for qt 6 (the latest) https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qmake-tutorial.html

Answer 3

according to the link given in my first post, .pro file could be:

1. Adobe Proto Design File
2. Qt Project File
3. TurboFloorPlan 3D Design File
4. Professional Home Design Project
5. KiCad Project
6. ProPresenter Export File
7. TurboIntegrator Process Definition File
8. IDL Source Code File

"understood that it is a Qt file" is quite vague, all the more that if you don't know "how can [you] compile" it and if you ask "which IDE should I use and which environment", sounds like you get it without being the maker if it, so you probably not sure that it is effectively a Qt file ^^
