As I red the Qt guide (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-sharing-project-settings.html) I saw that .pro.user files stores user-specific project settings, and I can make a pro.shared from it, but i don't knot how to make it (in spite of reading the guide), and which parts do I need to include.

Anyway, do I have to provide this file in a GNU GPL v3 project, or developers can build the app from the rest of the source, without this file?

Answer 1

No you only need a .pro file to build a project.

The .pro.user and .pro.shared only store your custom IDE preferences, they are not needed to build the project and aren't a derived work in the GPL sense
