The procedure of adding a library to a project depends on the build
system that you use.
When you create a new project, you can add it to another project as a
subproject in the \uicontrol{Project Management} dialog. However, the root project
must specify that qmake uses the \c subdirs template to build the project.
\section2 CMake Projects
You can add CMakeLists.txt files to any project by using the
\l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_subdirectory.html}
{add_subdirectory} command. The files can define complete projects that
are included into the top-level project or any other CMake commands.
\section2 qmake Projects
When you create a new project and select qmake as the build system,
you can add it to another project as a subproject in the
\uicontrol{Project Management} dialog. However, the root project
must specify that qmake uses the \c subdirs \l{TEMPLATE}{template} to
build the project.
To create a root project, select \uicontrol File >
\uicontrol {New File or Project} > \uicontrol {Other Project} >
