[Qt-interest] Compiling App on Visual Studio 2008

[Hildebrando Trannin]

Hi Alex,

thanks for the answer. I already tried to compile each library individually,
but it didn`t work.

I`d like to know if there is any configuration that I have to do in Qt
project files (.pro) to generate both dll and lib files in compilation. I
put my .pro files below.

*commons.pri*
CONFIG *= debug_and_release
OBJECTS_DIR = .obj
UI_DIR = .ui
MOC_DIR = .moc
DESTDIR = target

linux {
 DEFINES *= LINUX LEMON
}

win32 {
DEFINES *= WIN LEMON
}

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
  TARGET = $${TARGET}_d
}

CONFIG(lib1) {
  INCLUDEPATH *= $${PWD}/chulipa-htg/src
  LIBS *= -L$${PWD}/chulipa-htg/target
  CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
    LIBS *= -lchulipa-htg_d
  } else {
    LIBS *= -lchulipa-htg
  }
}

CONFIG(lemon) {
  INCLUDEPATH *= $${PWD}/dependencies/lemon-1.2.1 \
 $${PWD}/dependencies/lemon-1.2.1/target

  linux {
LIBS *= -L$${PWD}/dependencies/lemon-1.2.1/target/libs -lemon
  }
  win32 {
LIBS *= -L$${PWD}/dependencies/lemon-1.2.1/target/libs -llemon
  }

  CONFIG(QtLua) {
    INCLUDEPATH *= $${PWD}/dependencies/libqtlua/src
    LIBS *= -L$${PWD}/dependencies/libqtlua/target/libs -lqtlua
  }
}


*lib1:*
TEMPLATE = lib
QT += core \
    gui \
    xmlpatterns
CONFIG *= lemon
HEADERS += #h files
SOURCES += #cpp files
RESOURCES += queries/queries.qrc
include(../commons.pri)

*lib2:*
TEMPLATE = lib
QT += core \
    xmlpatterns \
    xml \
    phonon \
    network
CONFIG *= lemon \
    htg \
    QtLua
HEADERS += #h files
SOURCES += #cpp files
RESOURCES += resources/core-resources.qrc
include(../commons.pri)


Thanks,
  Hildebrando
