I'm using Qt 5.2 and want to integrate vlclib in my own project. So I downloaded the source of vlclib (for Qt) and also the VLC player itself. I'm stuck in the integration, because I don't have experience with integration of third party components into Qt Creator. So what are the next steps? I know that I have to edit the pro file with libs and headers but don't know exactly how.

Thank you.

Build and install the library then adapt your PRO file using paths that match your installed library:
Declaring Other Libraries
QMake Variable Reference: LIBS
QMake Variable Reference: INCLUDEPATH

Thank you for the hints. I don't how to build the library out of the source. Which tool do I have to use? I see that there's a CMakeLists.txt, but as far as I know I can not use CMake to build pro file for QT Creator, but only a sln file for Microsoft VS (which I don't use).
Thanks in advance.

Building the library has nothing to do with Qt Creator.

Assuming you are using MingW for compiling your projects.
You will need the full MSys/Mingw suite (I do not think the cut-down version in the Qt binary download is sufficient)

BTW: I see no CMakelists.txt in the source: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=tree
