I've been playing with Qt Creator. I have a project built using console-based qmake/Qt under Linux that I'd like to bring under Creator control. It consists of two main parts: the actual application, consisting of a GUI that users interact with; and a small support library that handles details of reading various external file formats.

This is all easily built using project files and qmake by hand, but Creator doesn't seem to have any options for building libraries - only applications.

It looks like I can edit the .pro file Creator generates and make it generate a dynamic library. Is this a sound approach?

The other approach would be to simply dump all of my files into a single directory and build them as one gigantic lump, but this doesn't appeal to me on an aesthetic level. It would probably be OK for this simple project, but for larger projects such an approach is unacceptable.

Am I stuck building only single applications with Creator, or is there a way to have it build libraries, too?
