Pulling this as sunmodule into my build. about quazip HOT 3 CLOSED

It really depends on your build environment. If building from command line with qmake, running qmake LIBS+=-lz is enough. If building from Qt Creator, specifying LIBS+=-lz in the project settings will do. It is really machine-specific, that's why it isn't in the .pro file.

Ok, I just saw your comments per #23 right after I posted, of course.

I was just hoping for an approach to treat submodule more independently (didn't require changes to top-level parent project or build), but it is workable.

I use the following quazip_static.pri for Windows, Mac and Linux:
Requires Qt5 on Windows due to header fun and games for static builds, though this might no longer be necessary.

DEFINES *= QUAZIP_STATIC

include($$PWD/../quazip.pri)

win32 {
    # On Windows zlib.h is not an SDK header
    # Redirect to the Qt5 one
    greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4) {
        INCLUDEPATH *= $$PWD
        HEADERS += $$PWD/zlib.h
    } else {
        # There isn't a neat workaround in older versions of Qt
        error(quazip_static.pri requires Qt5 or later)
    }
}

unix {
    # Unix (Linux, Mac, BSD) have a system zlib library
    LIBS += -lz
}

Obviously update the include() path to find quazip/quazip.pri as needed.

The zlib.h referred to contains the following:

// Workaround for zlib.h on Windows
// Requires Qt5

#ifdef WIN32
#include <QtZlib/zlib.h>
#endif

I'm not sure if that's actually still needed for static builds, as I first did this around QuaZip 0.7.1
