How to set a link to a library in the “Link Binary With Libraries” list from a .pro file

Wargos

The library was added to the .pro file with the following lines:

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/Libraries/release/ -lvclient_iphone_sim_release
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/Libraries/debug/ -lvclient_iphone_sim_release
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$PWD/Libraries/ -lvclient_iphone_sim_release

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/Libraries
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/Libraries

win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libraries/release/libvclient_iphone_sim_release.a
else:win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libraries/debug/libvclient_iphone_sim_release.a
else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libraries/release/vclient_iphone_sim_release.lib
else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libraries/debug/vclient_iphone_sim_release.lib
else:unix: PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libraries/libvclient_iphone_sim_release.a

Then, in Xcode, you have to manually change the link of the library in the list (seen in the photo).

QUESTION: Is it possible to somehow set the linking order of the library directly from the .pro file for generation in Xcode?!

Why do you need to change it?

Why do you need to change it?

Because the order of libraries, in the generated Xcode project cause crash. If I change order - it starts works fine.

Guys here say, that this is not the first time in their history when other of libraries DO matter.

It does not work with qmake and I would rather search the bug in the lib you link against.
