The lib you most likely need to build yourself, or install from your package repository.
The headers are in the source (install them) or also in the package repository.

Now don't be a dummy and go read some documentation.

by intuition:

add in your source code:
#include<vlc/libvlc.h>

and link the libs: (in your .pro file)
LIBS += -lvlc -lvlccore

if you are using win find the locations of the include path and the vlc.lib vlccore.lib
and set the correct INCLUDEPATH and LIBS in your .pro file.

The vlc libs don't depends on Qt!

Search in the VLC API documentation, or ask in the forum of the VLC developers (if it exits)
http://www.videolan.org/developers/v...tml/index.html

In this forum you are completely off-topic.
