    Is there a way to detect in the .pro file which compiler is being used?
    The MinGW compiler creates libABC.a files but VS2010 creates ABC.lib.
    I want to support them both so i need i need a LIBS statement for MinGW and one for VS2010.
    Alternative is to force VS2010 to generate libABC.a, but if i set this to the TARGET is creates a libABC.a.lib !!

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Unless you are providing the full path to the library file when linking you don't need to do that.

      @LIBS += -LC:/Path/To/lib_ABC_lib_file/ -lABC@

      should be enough

        Thnx, that works. But how about the libraries listed in the PRE_TARGETDEPS?

          You can use scopes:

          @
          mingw {
          PRE_TARGETDEPS += /path/to/my_lib/libABC.a
          } else {
          PRE_TARGETDEPS += /path/to/my_lib/ABC.lib
          }
          @
