Yes, but this makefile also starts qmake as the first thing it does (I tried). Any of the makefiles generated by qmake recursively may contain the character "{", caused by the parameters passed to qmake.
Since I do not have your qmake installation and 3d mesh, it is difficult to reproduce the error. You need to extract more details from what you need in order to pose a problem that we can answer .....
