Qt Creator and cURL - curl.h file not found

[cppStudent012]

Hi!

In this new project I am starting to make I need use the curl library.

In order to have Qt Creator build and compile with this library I followed this guide:

http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/89488/

or tried this other method:

https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html

by adding curl library as external static library (curl.a file).

Unluckly none of the 2 methods is working and at the moment I am stuck.

Is there anyone who could please help me to solve this problem or who had this same problem at their time and could help me out?

Thank you in advance!

When you want to use a library you have to add the include path to INCLUDEPATH and add the library you want to link to to LIBS

Thank you for the answer @Christian-Ehrlicher!

Yes I did what you explained, here it is:

.pro file

(includer in the INCLUDEPATH is not a typo, i changed the name of the folder otherwise "include" would have highlighted as keyword)

.cpp file

but as you can see the error is still there

Since there are spaces in the path you will have to quote them with " or better - move them to a good location without spaces.
And putting a library under 'Start Menu' is for sure not very sensible...

Oh snap, you are right!!
I was trying to link it with the wrong path..

Thank you very much @Christian-Ehrlicher!!
