Step into static library code in Qt

Question

I have a project with the following structure:

MainProject.pro
    ExecProject.pro
    LibProject.pro

As you can guess there is a dependency between the ExecProject and the LibProject.

My problem is that when debugging I cannot step into the LibProject source code (even if the code is executed).

Here is the MainProject.pro file contents :

TEMPLATE = subdirs

CONFIG += ordered

SUBDIRS += \
    LibProject \
    ExecProject

ExecProject.dependes = LibProject

The LibProject.pro file content:

TARGET = LibProject
TEMPLATE = lib

CONFIG = staticlib

DEFINES += LIBPROJECT_LIBRARY

SOURCES += LibProject.cpp

HEADERS += LibProject.h\
   LibProject_global.h

And the ExecProject.pro file content:

QT       += core

TARGET = ExecProject
CONFIG   += console
CONFIG   -= app_bundle

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp
INCLUDEPATH += ../LibProject
LIBS += -L../LibProject -lLibProject

Does anyone have an idea?

I think there may be a trick to recompile the lib with debug info included (the standard compile script for static libs will exclude the info). But I don't know what it is. — Hot Licks, May 07 '13 at 10:45
I finally compile it in one blob, making only folder. An *.pro* include would be welcome! — Martin Delille, Aug 06 '13 at 17:27

I finally solved my problem using .pri files for my libs and using the following command in my .pro file:

include(path/to/my/lib/mylib.pri)

My project hierarchy is as follow:

root
    \app
        \app1
        \app2
    \libs
        \lib1
            - class1.h
            - class1.cpp
            - class2.h
            - class2.cpp
        \lib2

Could you show how have you organized your pri file please? – Moia May 22 '18 at 08:51
