Hello Sajjad,

Thank you very much... I went through the 'qmake advanced usage' in the 
qmake documentation. I found a solution. I used:

    OBJECTS += $$system(ls ../cairo_ex/debug/*.o)

where ../cairo_ex/debug/ is the other directory containing the object 
files for the classes I am testing.
It worked except for a linker error... `multiple definition of main'. Of 
course, the other project I am testing is an executable!
So I had to manually add:

    OBJECTS += $$system(ls ../cairo_ex/debug/*.o)
    OBJECTS -= ../cairo_ex/debug/main.o

so that I exclude the main() of the executable under test. It is my 
workaround for now but it doesn't look very elegant! What do you think?

Thank you again...

Regards,
Islam
