Question

I have a Qt project and a subfolder libparanoia that has it’s own Makefile (few .mk‘s) and a RULES/conf folder.
When I execute make in the libparanoia folder it generates the .o files in a subfolder.

How can I, when I build my Qt application, run the makefile from libparanoia (a subfolder in the Qt project folder) and add the .o library to my Qt project (ok that’s LIBS+=)?

I am going to guess you will want to use QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS to do the work in your .pro file.

libpara_lib = <...some lib file...>
LIBS += libpara_lib


libpara.target = libpara_lib
libpara.commands = cd libparanoia && make -f Makefile

QT_EXTRA_TARGETS += libpara
