well, disabling shadow-building is actually not an option as this would 
spoil my SVN directory with temporary build files.

Thanks for the link to the setup of shared project settings. I did some 
experiments with it, however after a new user does a clean check out of 
the project together with the *.pro.shared file, the relevant settings 
get marked "sticky" in the newly created *.pro.user file. I don't have a 
clue why, because I thought that the *.pro.shared settings should be 
superior to the *.pro.user settings.

So the only way I see to use the SUBDIRS template with my common library 
would be to have the following filesystem layout:

/GenericCodeFolder/
——app1 (using commonlib)
   ——app1.pro (TEMPLATE=app)
——app2 (using commonlib)
   ——app2.pro (TEMPLATE=app)
——app3 (using commonlib)
   ——app3.pro (TEMPLATE=app)
——commonlib
   ——commonlib.pro (TEMPLATE=lib)
——app1_solution.pro (TEMPLATE=SUBDIRS)
——app2_solution.pro (TEMPLATE=SUBDIRS)
——app3_solution.pro (TEMPLATE=SUBDIRS)

As you can see from the naming of my "solutions" - I am looking for 
something like the well known Visual Studio Solutions (*.sln) in Qt Creator.

Best regards,
Markus

Btw: I am using Qt Creator 3.3.1.
