Using external ANSI C library

Hello,

It's possible to include in a Qt project an external library written in ANSI C??

I tried it writting,

Code:

---

#include "library.h"

---

in my source program, and inserting

Code:

---

LIBS += -Llibrary.lib

---

in my project definition.

When I compile the project, it seems that Qt finds the library correctly, but I get the followings error messages

Code:

---

undefined reference to 'library_function@8'

---

Help me please!! Thanks!!

HI, you have to provide "external linkage" information to your compiler

Try with

Code:

---

extern "C" {
#include "library.h"
}

---

Notice that the correct syntax for linking libraries in .pro file is

Code:

---

LIBS += -L<library_path> -l<library_basename>

---

Eg

Code:

---

LIBS += -Llibs/ -llibrary

---

Do you state the fact that the library is a C-style library (rather than C++) in the header file or before the #include statement?

Eg.

Code:

---

extern "C" {
#include "mylib.h"
};
