QT       += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = get_send_array

SOURCES += main.cpp\
        widget.cpp \

Use:

win32:LIBS += /path/to/the/lib/Serialize.dll
unix:LIBS += -L/path/to/the/lib/ -lSerialize

Serialize.dll is a windows dynamic load library, and libSerialize.a is an ar archive (you may reffer to it as a static library) and usually used in *nix systems.
