The above thread builds dll library - I need same for Linux.

There is another thread which just suggest to modify "make" - I am not that smart to do that

All QT tutorials (RTFM) are about how to build a library from scratch.
Is it possible to convert pro file to Linux C/C++ library?

If so , how ?

@AnneRanch if you have template = lib and it produces .dll file on Windows, when you compile it on Linux you'll get .so file. Unless your library has some platform specific code, that is.

Is this ALL I have to do?

Add to the pro file..
Looks unbelievably simple...

TEMPLATE = lib
DEFINES += TESTLIBRARY_LIBRARY

I have not implemented it, but it did build the library

THANKS

PS
I need to RTFM about "internal...system " library next.

@AnneRanch manual in that respect can be confusing as it tends to have all the options for MSVC and Windows.
For gcc/clang not really needed.

I quite often export parts of my code as a library if said code is/can be useful across the various tools I create, I do remember being confused about how to write it.
