Qt Creator - Add source directories for reverse engineering

I'm using Qt creator as a visual interface for gdb to reverse engineer an open source app running on a remote (embedded) device. The app is build using automake and doesn't have a .pro file and neither do the libraries it uses.

I would like to do static analysis of the code and am looking for a simple way to jump to function declarations for the library functions.

For example, I find a library function call press F2 (Shotcut for follow symbol under cursor) and that brings me to the header file.

Is there a way to include the library source directories without creating a .pro file for each of them?

You can import a Autotools project into QtCreator as explained in the documentation:

  1. Enable the Autotools Plugin: Help > About Plugins > Build Systems > AutotoolsProjectManager
  2. Restart QtCreator
  3. Open Makefile.am throught File > Open File or Project
