How to set up the FMOD audio library in Qt Creator for Android

[8Observer8]

@jsulm I want to run my app inside of Qt Creator with relative set up path (with using $$PWD instead of "E:/) because I want to distribute my examples with included libs. For example, I can post my examples (ZIPs) on the forums and people can download it and run without set up of FMOD and so on. And without manual copying of fmod.dlll to the Debug folder. For a while the "E:/ method (absolute path) works without manual copying of fmod.dll but the $$PWD method (relative path) requires to copy fmod.dll to the Debug folder. The distribution of EXE is very clear for me. Yes, of course I should distribute fmod.dll, Qt6Core.dll and so on with EXE. My question about distribution of Qt project with libs to run it very quickly in Qt Creator on another computer.

The $$PWD method (relative path) allows to include all libs to a project. I should works like this - everyone can download the project and run it without downloading requires libs and without manual copying of fmod.dll to the Debug folder:

@8Observer8 It looks like the library is part of your project. You could use https://wiki.qt.io/SUBDIRS_-_handling_dependencies project and make your main project depend on the library sub-project. In that case the libs should be copied during the build.

I don't have a source code of the proprietary FMOD library. I have only two folders for this library in my project folder: include:

and libs:

I think SUBDIRS cannot copy fmod.dll from the libs/fmod-2.2.21-mingw-64-bit/lib/x64 folder to the Debug folder or can it?

I solved the problem with the relative paths to the library! I just added -L before $$PWD like this:

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/libs/fmod-2.2.21-mingw-64-bit/include
LIBS += -L$$PWD/libs/fmod-2.2.21-mingw-64-bit/lib/x64
LIBS += -lfmod

Now you can download the next example and run it in Qt Creator (with MinGW 64) without necessary to set up FMOD or changing the paths in pro-file: play-audio-from-resources-fmod-qt6-cpp.zip (2.51 MB)
