Including a CMake-required library in Qt

Question

Specifically, I have this library https://github.com/PeterJohnson/ntcore

I need to import it to a Qt project and use the features. It features a gradle or a CMake option and I was trying to use the CMakeLists.txt but I couldn't figure out how to add that to the .pro to compile and deploy along with the Qt project itself... any help?

Answer 1

You cannot mix CMake and qmake projects just like that.

I think your realistic options are (ignoring any possible license issues):

1) Change your project to use CMake instead of qmake . Then it would be simple to include ntcore as a sub-build and link to it

2) Pre-compile ntcore using CMake and use the library and headers only in your qmake project
