How do I use add_subdirectory() in the pro file ?
You don't - it is for CMake.
Simply open your top level pro file with TEMPLATE = subdirs. -
@SPlatten add_subdirectory() is cmake only, you're using pro files -> qmake as build system
make a new pro file, make it
TEMPLATE = subdirsadd your sub dirs:
SUBDIRS = MainApplication \ ThCommunicationspecify the path, if needed:
MainApplication.subdir = MainApplication ThCommunication.subdir = Dependencies/ThCommunicationspecify dependencies, for example if you need the library before linking of your main application:
MainApplication.depends = ThCommunicationbe aware, your pro file of your subprojects should have the same name as the folder it lives in. I haven't yet found a way around this restriction.

example_project.subdir = ../example_project/
Is your example_project really one level up?!
Usually such projects are structured like shown here: https://wiki.qt.io/SUBDIRS_-_handling_dependencies -

however I could move it up ?
Sure you can.
Check the path in the error you get - is it what it should be? Is there a pro file in that folder? -

I think I've done something wrong:
first of all, remove this
CONFIG += ordered
or I will start murdering puppies!it is named subdir for a reason, iirc
..is not supported. And I'm almost certain that_PRO_FILE_doesn't work either, as a SUBDIR propertyyour pro file has already the same name as the directory it is in, so you're fine in that regard

I am in trouble as I have mentioned project names in my posts that I should not have and as a result my contract has been terminated.
Thank you,
Simon
