I posted this on Qt-Interest, but didn't get any responses, so I thought
I'd try over here:

I'm switching a bunch of Qt apps I've written over from Visual Studio,
to Qt Creator and I'm a little stumped on how to handle a Qt shared
library with each Qt app with respect to how Qt Creator handles project
files.

So say I have the following setup:
  myLib - library of common classes used by all apps
  appFoo - one application based on myLib
  appBar - a second application based on myLib

Originally I'd have two solutions, appFoo.sln and appBar.sln, each
containing two Visual Studio .vcproj files, one project for the
application (i.e. appFoo.vcproj), and one for the shared library
(myLib.vcproj).  Then, when building the solution it would check
dependencies for both projects, building each as necessary.  More
importantly, when debugging I could debug both appFoo and myLib.  This
debugging feature is what I'm really trying to regain in Qt Creator - to
build able to step into the code of both the application and the shared
library.

I have working .pro files for everything (i.e., myLib.pro, appFoo.pro,
appBar.pro) and I can build everything separately, but if I open one of
those individual .pro files, I don't see the application AND library
files, just one or the other.

Should I be creating a "solution" .pro file for each app, and use
SUBDIRS?  Something like:

appFooSolution.pro:
  TEMPLATE = subdirs
  SUBDIRS = appFoo myLib

appBarSolution.pro:
  TEMPLATE = subdirs
  SUBDIRS = appBar myLib
