Adding library with .a extension

[ftl_embedded]

Hello Folks,

Can any one tell me on how to add .a library in qt creator.
My actual file name is DCCAPI.a. It is a DC Cheque Scanner. So i want to add this API definations on qt creator.
Kindly give your valuable feedback on the same.
Awaiting response.

Thanks

1) you'll need g++ compiler set up in qt creator (mingw will do the trick on windows)
2) in your .pro file add:

LIBS += -LPATH/TO/YOUR/LIB/ -llib_name

LIBS += -LPATH/TO/YOUR/LIB/ -llib_name

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

-L will point to directory where lib is. You can use $$PWD to point to your project directory. See path reference in Qt for other macros.
-l will point to library name.
3) add header reference to your sources.

note: lib name needed, not lib FILE name. That's why you don't have to put .a

Easy, remove that line.

Also easy: include the header or headers of the library.

Did you build the binary with a toolchain for ARM?
If not, doing so will likely fix this.
