Dear @makentow

• See https://github.com/QtExcel/Qxlnt/tree/master/HelloQXlnt for an example.

• https://github.com/QtExcel/Qxlnt/blob/master/HelloQXlnt/HelloQXlnt.pro

# HelloQXlnt.pro

TARGET = HelloQxlnt

CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any feature of Qt which as been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

# You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

# Set environment values for Qxlnt. You may use default values.

msvc:DEFINES+=XLNT_IMPORT

include(../Qxlnt/Qxlnt.pri)

msvc{
# message('Visual C++ EXE TYPE')
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
LIBS+=$${QXLNT_ROOT}debug/QXlnt.lib
QMAKE_POST_LINK += copy ..\Qxlnt\debug\Qxlnt.dll .\debug\
} else {
LIBS+=$${QXLNT_ROOT}release/QXlnt.lib
QMAKE_POST_LINK += copy ..\Qxlnt\release\Qxlnt.dll .\release\
}
}

# source code 

SOURCES += \
main.cpp

1️⃣ If you use gcc, (gcc is default compiler of QtCreator)
Append one line for your Qt Project (*.pro). That;s it.

include(../Qxlnt/Qxlnt.pri)

• Of course, you need to copy the Qxlnt path to your project.

2️⃣ If you use Visual Studio(Visual C++), It's a little complicated.
Append some lines, below.

msvc:DEFINES+=XLNT_IMPORT

msvc{
# message('Visual C++ EXE TYPE')
CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
LIBS+=$${QXLNT_ROOT}debug/QXlnt.lib
QMAKE_POST_LINK += copy ..\Qxlnt\debug\Qxlnt.dll .\debug\
} else {
LIBS+=$${QXLNT_ROOT}release/QXlnt.lib
QMAKE_POST_LINK += copy ..\Qxlnt\release\Qxlnt.dll .\release\
}
}

You need to set the path of Qxlnt.dll to your executable path.
This is because xlnt creates a DLL, when using Visual C++.

3️⃣ Fix custom directory of https://github.com/QtExcel/Qxlnt/blob/master/Qxlnt/Qxlnt.pri

XLNT_ROOT = ../Qxlnt/
QXLNT_PARENTPATH = ../xlnt/
QXLNT_HEADERPATH = ../xlnt/include/
QXLNT_SOURCEPATH = ../xlnt/source/

• You can set a relative path, or you can set an absolute path.
