    @csaba911 yeah, you probably will face several issues... It's like you're learning how to swim in a pond but you immediately want to cross the English Channel.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Please re-read the documentation @Pablo-J-Rogina linked to. It's the exact part you need add to your pro file.

        @pablo-j-rogina I can swim just fine (not in Qt water) this isn’t a rocket science I’m expecting it to be a short 100 line program so not the “English channel”
        Can you just give me a example how do you reference a external lib like RF24.

          I can swim just fine

          I don't doubt that...

          (not in Qt water)

          That's exactly my point

          Can you just give me a example how do you reference a external lib like RF24.

          I've already pointed you to the proper documentation, and @SGaist suggested to re-read it, confirming it's a good lead. So I'm done here.

            Added LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -llibrf24 to debug.pro still getting the same error.

            g++ -o Debug/RF5 Debug/RF5.o Debug/MainWindow.o Debug/moc_MainWindow.o -L/usr/local/lib -llibrf24 -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lGLESv2 -lpthread -latomic

              Confirmed that lib are installed
              make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
              [Installing Libs to /usr/local/lib]
              [Installing Headers to /usr/local/include/RF24]
              make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

              ldconfig -p | grep librf24
              librf24.so.1 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/local/lib/librf24.so.1
              librf24.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/local/lib/librf24.so

              So can you please help[ me to add whatever needed to be included ] !? or at least what file dir need for it ? Might not even work with Qt5 and we just wasting time.

                It has nothing to do with Qt.

                When linking to a library, remove the lib part of your library name. For example, when linking against zlib, the line is:

                LIBS += -lz

                      @pablo-j-rogina you see after reading the lib section of the manual again I still don’t see any references that don’t add lib to librf24 ,that document assuming that I know that ?
                      “LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -lmath” the library called libmath than it would be obvious to remove lib from it.
                      Thanks.

                        don’t add lib to librf24

                        Well, you said before you're good on other waters...

                        That feature is a common practice since a long ago, see GCC documentation for instance:

                        -llibrary
                        ...
                        Some targets also support shared libraries, which typically have names like liblibrary.so.

                        It's even used in the Makefiles of the RF24 project you use

                        LIBS+= -llittlewire-spi

                        Anyway, glad you have it working. And please don't forget to mark this post as solved, it might help other users. Thanks
