    @amruz You use it as any other library. You're already doing it with Qt.
    Just include the header file of your library and use it. For example create an instance of Worksharedlib.

    #include "sharedlib.h"
    
    int main()
    {
        ...
        Worksharedlib lib;
        lib.show();
        ...
    }

    @jsulm said in creating cpp library using qt:

    Worksharedlib lib;

    /home/amruz/worksharedlib/worksharedlib.h:14: error: undefined reference to `vtable for Worksharedlib'

      @amruz Will probably not solve that error, but this looks wrong as well:

      QT -= gui
      

      Your app is going to show an UI, right? Then it is a gui app:

      QT += core gui widgets
      

      Don't forget to rerun qmake after changing pro file and rebuild.

          @amruz If it is a console application then why do you want to use a library which provides an UI class:

          class WORKSHAREDLIBSHARED_EXPORT Worksharedlib:public QWidget
          {
          
             Q_OBJECT
          public:
              //Worksharedlib();
              Worksharedlib(QWidget *parent = 0);
              ~Worksharedlib() {}
          
          private slots:
             void handleButton();
             void m_buttonClicked();
          
          private:
             QPushButton *m_button;
             QLineEdit *m_textbox;
             QHBoxLayout *layout;
             QWidget *window;
             QLabel * label;
             QWidget *frame;
          };
          

          ?

                  @amruz Yes. You're using widgets - so it must be a gui application with widgets, right?

                  QT += core gui widgets

                      @amruz i also found that when destructor is not included this type of error may occur..but when i added destructor also the same problem exists
