Then keep the app in it's own directory and add that dir to the
top-level PRO file (which has template=subdirs).

While using SUBDIRS template, you can use the 'ordered' config (CONFIG
+= ordered) and place the dir containing the dir which you want built
first before your app dir. This will ensure that your app project is
built _after_ the other dependency is built.

Though this is not a very robust method as someone later might
accidentally change that order and break your build.

Better approach is to add dependency to your app's build.

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS = mylib app

mylib.subdir = lib_dir

app.subdir = app_dir
app.depends = sub_lib

I had read this as part of a 'undocumented' qmake doc (don't have the
link handy)! :)

Haven't tired it myself, but looks like it should work...
