Create Library

[Tiecker]

Hi,

I'm a computer science student, and I start to learn C, now I want to create a Library with a function, that I can include it in another project, but no kit appears, as shown in the attached image.

hi @Tiecker, welcome.

How did you install Qt and Creator? which version?

Do you have Xcode on your machine?

[Tiecker]

My version is QtCreator 4.8.0-beta1 (v4.7.82), and I have Xcode in my machine, for C projects, I can run the programs, but, creating a library a can't use the same kit.

@Tiecker perhaps its better if you start off by creating a library project by hand, or in the very least by configuring a build automation script without the help of an IDE.

I'm afraid Qt Developer's support for C is not exactly there in spite of supporting C compilers, and you'll end up either using qmake or cmake, which always require some level of manual configuration.

Here's a link to a stack overflow question that includes detailed answers on how to setup a cmake build for a shared library project. Most answers follow cmake's modern target-based style, which includes some degree of hand-holding, but it's very effective in getting a minimal working example.
