project variables and configuration in QtCreator custom wizards

Question

I am creating a project template by using Custom Wizards (say, a "Hello World" project). Aside from including my files and classes, I would like some extra stuff to be automatically added to the generated .pro file, like CONFIG+=compiler-configuration-stuff or LIBS+=extra-needed-library, but the documentation does not say anything about this. Is it possible? How?

Thanks in advance.

You can edit .pro file in your wizard. The wizard files are in the following directory:

Qt-Dir/Tools/QtCreator/share/qtcreator/templates/wizards/

If you look at the directory there are some folders related to different wizards. For example if you look in to the "helloworld/qmake" folder, there you can see a "project.pro" file and a "wizard_sample.xml" file. You can edit the xml file to have your custom wizard.

"project.pro" is a template pro file. You can edit it and next time you create a project by that wizard, your custom pro would be created for the project.
