Using Qt Library templates

The following video shows how to configure a Qt project to create a static library to use in your own projects, the main code for this can be found on github here

The main things you will need to do are in the .pro file as follows

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG+=staticlib

If you omit the staticlib it will create a dynamic library and the runtime linker will need to be told where to find your lib.

In the project you intend to use the library in you need to set the LIBS Qt variable passing in the -L[path to lib] and -l lib(s) to link
