Qt project with mcapi

Question

Hi! I want to include MCAPI library in my Qt project. What should I do to make this? 
 I copied mcapi 2.0 headers into myproject/mcapi folder and append INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/mcapi into .pro file. Also I appended DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/mcapi and unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/mcapi/ -lmcapi. But I get error 
 mainwindow.o: In function `MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()': 
 ../myproject/mainwindow.cpp:(.text+0x134): undefined reference to `mcapi_initialize(unsigned int, unsigned int, attributes_t const*, int const*, mcapi_info_t*, unsigned int*)' 
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 I should not use MCAPI at all.)

For anyone struggling with this that needs an actual answer instead of "don't use mcapi"... you'll need to add the following lines to your .pro project file: 
 QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -fPIC QMAKE_CFLAGS += -fPIC QMAKE_LFLAGS += -shared -fPIC 
 I had the same issue where libmcapi would link fine when used outside a qt project in a normal Makefile, but i was getting undefined reference errors when trying to use it in a qt project. Adding the lines above in the pro file solves the problem.
