Unit testing of shared library

[Exotic_Devel]

I'm trying to create a test for shared library that I am creating. But without success.
I'm getting the error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldynamicui
I know that is probably a problem with the project files, but do not know what is.

Where is the library located?
Are you sure that it is in $$OUT_PWD/../dynamicui/ ?

[Exotic_Devel]

I used the Add Library function of Qt Creator, this project file was automatically generated.
The project is divided into subdir, DynamicUi.pro, dynamicui.pro and tests.pro.
The test project is a unit test that tests the library. I believe we should first compile the library and then compile the test. The project file of test must point to the folder where it is the compiled binary library. But do not know how to get the pro.

[andreyc]

In the main pro file you listed test subdir first.
Try to put dynamicui first and add ordered to CONFIG

@
SUBDIRS +=
dynamicui \
tests

CONFIG += ordered
@

[Exotic_Devel]

ok, it worked

finally, explain to me these lines of tests.pro:

@
DEFINES += SRCDIR=\"$$PWD/\"

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../dynamicui/release/ -ldynamicui
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../dynamicui/debug/ -ldynamicui
else:unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../dynamicui/ -ldynamicui

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../dynamicui
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../dynamicui

Read the documentation on creating libraries, but it was unclear.
