<![CDATA[How does Qt Creator link different object files/libs in default?]]>I am wondering if making a project, how does qt creator link these files? Or will qt creator create any static/dynamic libs?
what is the default setting? simply create relocatable object file for every cpp file and then link them together?

Depending on the information in .pro file(project file). qmake creates the make file.

If you want to create the library use

TEMPLATE += lib

or
want to create the app

TEMPLATE += app

in .pro file

Thanks,

Qt Creator does no such things, it's "just" an IDE. The compiler/linker from your platform will do the work.

What will be generated will depend on your project i.e. if it's an application, a lib etc. You can check the TEMPLATE variable in qmake's documentation.
