-    \section1 Adding External Libraries to a Generic Project
-
-    Through external libraries Qt Creator can support code completion and
-    syntax highlighting as if they were part of the current project or the Qt
-    library.
-
-    If you import a project using the \gui{Import Existing Project}
-    function, Qt Creator creates a file called \tt{<projectname>.includes} in
-    your project directory. The \tt{.includes} file contains all project
-    subdirectories for which Qt Creator found relevant headers. Add your
-    include paths here.
-
-    \note In \gui Projects mode of a generic project, Qt Creator does not
-    modify any project settings prior to the build.
-
-    Syntax completion and highlighting work once your project successfully
-    builds and links against the external library.
