Switching to qt-cmake development is the easiest way as that directly syncs with the way ros builds. The qt cmake module maintainer I've found is also very accessible to addressing problems whatever may arise (I had a few issues with mingw+qt).

Eros (nevermind that its about embedded/cross compiling) has a few python tools to help set up qt projects in the ros-cmake environment. You can either install eros or use these as a guide for your own packages.

This tutorial gives you a picture of the end result (though as mentioned at the bottom, works just as well natively without doing all of the rostoolchain stuff.

The templates set up ui files and resources as well as sources. This tutorial gives you a picture of the end result (though as mentioned at the bottom, works just as well natively without doing all of the rostoolchain stuff.
