How to link to static library in QT .pro file

[summeli]

Hi,

I'm porting a qt static library to s60 qt. The static library builds fine with

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += staticlib
CONFIG += debug_and_release
CONFIG += precompile_header

However I don't know how to link to this static library in other qt project file.
In other platforms it seems to work fine with

LIBS += mystaticlib

statement, but that doesn't work with S60 QT.

Any ideas?

Hi,

In your other project's pro file add .lib ending to your static library's name. Then regenerated MMP file contain STATICLIBRARY statement in front of your library name and the library should work ok.

Other way seems to be to build your static library with armv5. Because when the pro file is parsed, static libraries should locate at EPOCROOT\Epoc32\release\armv5\udeb or urel folder. (I guess nothing stops you from copying gcce libs there too).

For more details how static libs are recognized (at least in garden):
symmake.cpp : SymbianMakefileGenerator::writeMmpFileLibraryPart(QTextStream& t)

I would expect that this function is fixed before final release so that also static libraries are checked from other folders too.

Thanks, adding that .lib worked

I can't make this work. Please see http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=191960 and http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=192043 and see if you have any suggestions for me.
