[bravestar]

Hi,
I am trying to add an external library to a qt application. But after building the application its showing cannot recognize file format. Library is in .so format and I am working on linux. Please help.

Not sure I follow.

But after building the application

It sound like you can build the application.
If this is true, then your lib is linked as it should, otherwise the linker would complain.

I guess what is not so clear is what do you mean with "adding" the lib.
More information would help.

It sound more like your are trying the open an *.so file with your application.
Is that the case?
