lvlc-qt missing compilation error

Question

I'm trying to make demo-player work from vlc github, I load the pro file, specify the supposed directory of the vlc-qt lib (I've tried a lot a directories btw) but still no way to get things done. I've tried on both Ubuntuand Mac Os... Here's my pro file:

TARGET      = demo-player
TEMPLATE    = app

QT          += core gui

SOURCES     += main.cpp\
               DemoPlayer.cpp

HEADERS     += DemoPlayer.h

FORMS       += DemoPlayer.ui

# Edit below for custom library location
LIBS     += -L/home/VBB/Documents/vlc-2.0.7/lib/ -lvlc-qt -lvlc-qt-widgets
INCLUDEPATH += /home/VBB/Documents/vlc-2.0.7/include/ \
            /home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/src/core/

and the compilation message

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvlc-qt /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvlc-qt-widgets

by the way on Ubuntu I've tried

sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev

but it ain't change nothing.

edit : If this can help

VBB@VBB-VirtualBox:~$ sudo find / -name "libvlc-qt*"
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/pkgconfig/libvlc-qt.pc.in
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-get-orig-source
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-core0.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-core0.install
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-dev.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-widgets0.dirs
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-widgets0.install
/home/VBB/Documents/code/vlc-qt/debian/libvlc-qt-dev.install

What you need to specify after -L is the location of the following two .so files:

ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox:~/vlc-test/vlc-qt/build$ find -iname \*.so
./src/widgets/libvlc-qt-widgets.so
./src/core/libvlc-qt.so

Normally you compile those libraries, by following this section in README.md:

    Compilation
-----------
    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=prefix
    $ make
