How to add a custom dynamic library in Qt?
To add a custom dynamic library to a Qt project, you can follow these steps:
- Copy the custom dynamic library file (usually a .dll file) to the project directory of the Qt project, for example placing it in a subfolder called “libs” in the project.
- Add the following content to the .pro file in the Qt project:
LIBS += -Llibs -lYourLibraryName
YourLibraryName is the name of the custom dynamic library, excluding the file extension.
- Include the header file of a custom dynamic library in the source code files of a Qt project, and make the respective function calls and operations.
- Recompile and rebuild the project to ensure that the custom dynamic library is correctly linked and utilized.
Please note:
- The header file for custom dynamic libraries should be provided along with the library file in order to declare functions and define types in the project.
- If a custom dynamic library depends on other third-party libraries, you need to add the appropriate linking commands in the .pro file, for example:
LIBS += -lThirdPartyLibraryName
- If the custom dynamic library is not located in the project directory of the Qt project, you can specify the correct library file path by adjusting the parameters of the -L option.
