what is the purpose of makefile, .pro file .

A:
Makefiles simplify executing the necessary commands for building a program, I'll point you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile for details on makefiles (something you can easily look up yourself).
The *.pro-file is a Qt-specific artifact for qmake projects, which you could also easily look up on Google: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/qmake-project-files.html

It's a platform independent file used to create platform specific make files when the project is actually compiled.
