You should set it in the .pro file of the project that needs the import.

But remember that QML_IMPORT_PATH works similar to e.g. QQmlEngine::addImportPath: It needs to point to the directory that contains the first part of your import as directory. E.g. if you have com.mycompany.Feature as import the import path should specify the directory that contains the 'com' directory.
