Edit your .pro (qmake project) file, which should have been created by 
kdevelop.  Add a line like:

LIBS += -L/path/to/yourlib -lyourlib

See the qmake reference manual for more details.

After you edit the .pro file, have a look at what changed in kdevelop 
(using the qmake manager, NOT the project options dialog).  From then on 
you should be able to make the same changes from within kdevelop.  Of 
course you can just try editing the project straight from the qmake 
manager -- just check your .pro file to see what changed.

You have to run qmake again to regenerate your Makefile with the new 
LIBS variable.  I think it's done automatically when you rebuild your 
project, but you can right click on your project (within qmake manager) 
to force a run of qmake if you need.
