adding shell commands to .pro file to update includes and libraries.

[rwpattie]

I've developed a data acquisition GUI that uses CERN's ROOT software libraries. During initial development I just added the include and libraries by hand, but now that this software is being adopted around my lab I need a more dynamic way to do this on each installation. For a normal c++ program linking to the ROOT libraries I can use shell commands provided by the local installation of ROOT in the makefile to locate the includes and library paths:

CXXFLAGS += $(shell root-config --cflags)
LIBS += $(shell root-config --libs)

How do I add similar lines to the Qt pro file, so that the ROOT libraries and includes can be found on any computer with ROOT installed?

Thanks for any help.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You are likely looking for the system function.
