Use QT creator on Linux to compile a portaudio based C code

I found a sample C code that uses portaudio. To be able to compile the code I had to copy a header file and a library file on my working folder. So in my folder I have the following 3 files:

- main.c
- myheader.h
- libportaudio.a

In Linux I use this to compile the code:

gcc -o myprog main.c libportaudio.a -lrt -lasound -lpthread -lm

I now want to use QT creator on Linux to compile and debug the code. How can add -lrt -lasound -lpthread -lm parameters in QT creator and how and where to add the libportaudio.a to the QT creator?

First you have to decide if you're going to use qmake or CMake with Qt Creator to build your project. Qt Creator is just an IDE that uses a build tool which in turn runs gcc or g++ or whatever. If we assume that you're using qmake you must first create a new project either from Qt Creator or from command line in your source dir:

qmake -project

This will create a .pro file where you can set your sources, compiler flags and libraries.

I recommend you to read this first: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-tutorial.html

About linking to external library with qmake: Adding external library into Qt Creator project

LIBS += -L/path/to/libraries libportaudio.a -lrt -lasound -lpthread -lm
