How can I tell QMake to create one lib per source file? BTW, I want to be able to drop more .cpp files into the directory without having to update the .pro file (so not looking to add each manually to the .pro)

TEMPLATE = lib

# Get a list of all the animal .cpp files in the libs directory
ANIMAL_SOURCES = $$files(../src/cpp/*.cpp)
message($$ANIMAL_SOURCES)

# Create a library for each animal .cpp file
for(FILE, ANIMAL_SOURCES) {
    # Extract the name of the animal from the file name
    ANIMAL = $$basename(FILE)
    # Create the library target for this animal
    LIBNAME = $${ANIMAL}.so
#    message($$replace(LIBNAME, animal, test))
    $${ANIMAL}.target = $$LIBNAME
    $${ANIMAL}.sources = $$FILE
    # Add the library target to the list of targets
    SUBDIRS += $$ANIMAL
#    LIBS += -l$$ANIMAL
}

# Build each animal type library
define_build_subdirs {
    for(dir, SUBDIRS) {
        message("Building $$dir")
        SUBDIR = $$dir
        include($$dir/$${SUBDIR}.pro)
    }
}

# Link the libraries to the main project
LIBS += -L$$PWD
