    Thanks for the hint. But again configuring it that way works with compiling for the desktop, but not for android.

    What I did:

    I replaced the LIBS configuration I posted aboth with this:

    @INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
    DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
    LIBS += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/libzmq.a@

    Now I get the following error:

    @ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: error: /home/qtappzmq/../../../../../usr/local/lib/libzmq.a(libzmq_la-zmq.o): incompatible target
    ../zmq/main.cpp:18: error: undefined reference to 'zmq_ctx_new'
    ../zmq/main.cpp:19: error: undefined reference to 'zmq_socket'
    ../zmq/main.cpp:20: error: undefined reference to 'zmq_connect'
    ../zmq/main.cpp:21: error: undefined reference to 'zmq_setsockopt'
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [libzmq.so] Error 1
    15:31:50: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.@

    I should add, that I am quite a newbie to the whole c library stuff. So if you think I have missed something simple, dont hesitate and point to it :)

      Try it like this

      @ INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
      DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/include
      LIBS += $$PWD/../../../../../usr/local/lib/ -lzmq
      @

      Btw, is zeromq supposed to work on android?

        Like that it doesnt work with the desktop and with the android compilation :)

        I get the following error while compiling for desktop:

        @/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /home/qtappzmq/../../../../../usr/local/lib/: File format not recognized
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        make: *** [zmq] Error 1
        15:41:52: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.@

        And this error while compiling for android:

        @ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: fatal error: /home/qtappzmq/../../../../../usr/local/lib/: pread failed: Is a directory
        collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
        make: *** [libzmq.so] Error 1
        15:45:46: The process "/usr/bin/make" exited with code 2.@

        bq. Btw, is zeromq supposed to work on android?

        I naivly thought it should, because its just some c code.

          Sorry, I didnt see that you were already using an absolute path.

          It should look like this then:

          @ INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
          DEPENDPATH += /usr/local/include
          LIBS += /usr/local/lib/ -lzmq
          @

            Getting the same errors for desktop and android :/

            -But I found a source for zmq and android. Seems like I have to make a special build for android:-
            -http://zeromq.org/build:android-

            edit: Ok that was about building a jar in order to use zeromq, but since I'd like to use it directly as a C lib with my QT app it might work just like that, if I could only configure it correctly...

              Are you sure that its the same error? I think it should be at least a little bit different.

                It is the same error, but the dir is now the absolute and not the relative one.

                Now it is:
                @/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/local/lib/: File format not recognized@ instead of
                @/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /home/qtappzmq/../../../../../usr/local/lib/: File format not recognized@

                  Like this it builds at least.

                  @LIBS += /usr/local/lib/libzmq.a

                  INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include
                  DEPENDPATH += /usr/local/include

                  PRE_TARGETDEPS += /usr/local/lib/libzmq.a@

                    Yap, it builds for the desktop compile target like that, but for the android compile target I get the "incompatible target" error again, which I showed detailed in my second post.

                    I think there is something special to do for the android compile target, that I forget.

                      Hi,

                      Are you linking against an ARM version of libqmq when you build for android ?

                        Ye, thats what I already asked. You cant expect a desktop lib to work on android. The libraby might be using some other libraries that arent available on android.

                        http://zeromq.org/build:android
                        It creates some libraries and a java wrapper. Maybe you can just bind the libs to your app

                          head -> wall I tried to link to the libzmq that i built for ubuntu. That sounds like reason for the "incompatible" error ;) Thanks!
