taglib with qt-creator

[Plasty Grove]

Ok, I seem to have got this figured out. We need to include the location of
the header files in the compiler options. Effectively we need to have
something like

g++ something something -I /usr/include/taglib yada yada.

i.e. in the Makefile. We also need to have -ltag included as a link.

Effectively, in the Makefile, this is what it translates to:

CXXFLAGS      = -pipe -I /usr/include/taglib -I /usr/include/taglib-extras
-g -D_REENTRANT -Wall -W $(DEFINES)
LIBS          = $(SUBLIBS)  -L/usr/lib -ltag -lQtGui -lQtCore -lpthread

(note the -ltag in the LIBS variable, taglib-extras in CXXFLAGS might not be
required)

and if you compile it now with make, you'll find everything compiling fine.

In qt-creator, these values can be set by editing the .pro file of your
project and adding in the following variables:

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -I /usr/include/taglib -I /usr/include/taglib-extras
QMAKE_LIBS += -ltag

This will make the necessary modifications to the Makefile when you build
the project.

I hope someone finds this useful. It took me a day of googling, searching on
ubuntu forums and a helpful dev at #qt-creator on freenode to figure this
out.

Cheers!
