How do I point to a C++ library (non Qt library)

How do I point to a C++ library in Qt. Should I duplicate the below line in the dot pro file and point to a specific file:

include(../../src/qtsoap.pri)

EG: include(C:/abc/def/First Name Library)

When I do this and look at the compile output, I do not see the new path being used.

Is there some kind of instuction such as the below one that I should be using:

library(C:/abc/def/First Name Library)

Thank you,
Chris L.

Code:

---

LIBS += -Lpath/to/library -lnameoflibrary

---

The qmake manual has some pertinent information.

What do I do if the path to the library folder contains many blank characters? Which of the below declarations is most correct. Can I specify just the folder, or should I specify a particular file in that folder.

(1) LIBS += C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library

(2) LIBS += "C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library"

(3) LIBS += 'C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library'

Below Contains many blanks after the "+=":

(4)

Code:

---

LIBS +=    C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library

---

(5)

Code:

---

LIBS +=    "C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library"

---

(6)

Code:

---

LIBS +=    'C:/Temp/The C++ Library/code is here/library'

---

Thank you,

Apart from 1 and 4 they are all equivalent. Why don't you just try them all yourself and see what works and what doesn't?

You might also look in the qmake manual for the quote() function.
