Qt creator 5 link

Question

I have qtcreator 5 and I want to use the libpng12-0 library. I don't know how I have to link into my project ? There's a problem when I writte:

loadedimage = IMG_Load(filename.c_str());

I know that I have to writte something like:

     LIBS += -L
     LIBS += -libpng12-0

Does anyone know what I have to do ?

I tried a lot of things but I'm new on qt creator 5. Thanks for help. Sorry for my english.

If you need a GUI method then,

• Open .pro file
• Right click any where in text editor area
• Choose Add Library
• Then choose the type of library
• Provide the path of the library file
• Done.

If you directly want to edit .pro file, then library name will be -lpng12-0 not -libpng12-0 .
