    Hi and welcome to devnet,

    What are you using qmake ? cmake ? Do you want to rebuild these files ?

      Hi!
      Yes, I'm using qmake under Qt Creator.

        Then, the second question: do you want to rebuild these files in your new project ?

            Then the quick and dirty way to do this is:

            SOURCES += /path/to/your/other/project/cpp_file.cpp
            INCLUDES += /path/to/your/other/project/header_file.h

              Already tried, but it was occurred an issue:

              :-1: error: No rule to make target ../Library/Lib/mathfuncslib.cpp', needed by mathfuncslib.o'. Stop.

                    I'm sorry:

                    QT = core gui

                    greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

                    SOURCES += ~/Library/Lib/mathfuncslib.cpp
                    INCLUDES += ~/Library/Lib/mathfuncslib.h
                    SOURCES +=
                    main.cpp

                    But I get the same result..

                      I'd rather go with an absolute path

                        Unfortunately it's the same.

                              Did you re-run qmake ?

                                  Ok! The path was wrong!
                                  Now, I have to include the file in the main also? If yes, I have to use the absolute path?

                                    You can use them as normal. You need to update INCLUDEPATH to also contain the folder where the headers are located.
