How to build a library from application

[kamlmish]

Hi

I have a application and a library . Currently I am able to build the library and application separatly and link the application to it

My case is that , when i import the application pro file, the qmake should be able to build the library and then run the application .

just u reconfigure ur .pro file

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += staticlib (or) CONFIG += dll

it will automatically generate a library ...

What about the main function?
What about the event loop?

Attached is the pro file for the application (scrapbook ) and the library( gallery)
I need to reconfigure the pro file for scrapbook so that , qmake builds gallery and then scrapboook automatially

What about the main function?
What about the event loop?

no need for main and QApplication event loop .. the application where u want to include this widget having event loop is enough ....

I included
SUBDIRS + = /path to GALL.pro
in the scrapbook.pro , but I get error
make: *** No rule to make target `../libs/libGALLERY.so

Which means you can't turn an application into a library by just changing the .pro file?
Or do I miss something here?

Edit: I might also misinterpret the original question. Does the original question ask for an application to be turned into a library or not?

My question was that when the QMAKE builds the scrapbook.pro , it should internally go to Gall.pro and create the libraries
currently , I have to explicitly build the Gall libraries
