[Qt-creator] Theory of Operation question concerning configurations

[eike.ziller at nokia.com]

First of all, qmake documentation is pretty lacking, so no blame on you ;) Especially the CONFIG variable feels pretty magic sometimes, because it mixes several mutually exclusive options, and of these always the last to appear is effective. E.g. (debug, release, debug_and_release) and (static, shared, static_and_shared).
So, CONFIG+= static_and_shared should do your trick (if CONFIG doesn't get a static or shared appended later).

As a side note, if you have two .pro files that would need to use the same source+header files, the "usual" approach is to put the HEADERS and SOURCES sections into a .pri file, and include that in your two .pro files.

foo.pro:
TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS+=foo_blah.pro foo_blubb.pro

foo_blah.pro:
include(foo_include.pri)
[... more ...]

foo_blubb.pro:
include(foo_include.pri)
[... more ...]

foo_include.pri:
SOURCES+=$$PWD/source1.cpp $$PWD/source2.cpp
[... more ...]

That definitely won't work. The .o files for the two types of libraries are typically generated using very different compile options.

You missed my point on the second one -- the second project contains
NO source files but rather only performs linking. Qt Creator should
display this as an empty subproject but I THINK it should still do the
trick -- although you may need to point to the static lib by path in
OBJECTS instead of with a LIBS += -l directive.
