Struggling with "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3"

Hi,
	I'm trying to learn to write a GUI app using the book "C++ GUI Programming  
with Qt 3", which of course is not written with Trinity in mind, but 
hopefully will be enough to get me started.  I've already figured out that I 
need to substitute 'tqmake' for 'qmake', but I can't get the 
simple 'helloworld' project to actually compile the c++ code.  I've got the 
project generated, and I see the code in its src/ directory, but when I try 
to build it (the book says to use 'make') it says "make: Nothing to be done 
for 'first'."
	Here is the Makefile generated by tqmake:
> 
> ###########################################################################
> Makefile for building: Tutorial1
> Generated by qmake (1.07a) (TQt 3.5.0) on: Wed Nov 16 22:57:35 2016

> Template: subdirs
> Command: $(QMAKE) -o Makefile Tutorial1.pro
> ###########################################################################

uiclean mocclean lexclean yaccclean clean : FORCE

	And here is the Project file:

> ######################################################################
> # Automatically generated by qmake (1.07a) Wed Nov 16 22:47:58 2016
> ######################################################################

> # Directories

	Are there additional steps required when compiling a QT project in Trinity?
