You have two possibilities described below.
Don't hesitate to look at the examples.

Modular and clean method - Static lib

• Open the main project with QtCreator (QtWebsocket.pro) or Visual Studio (QtWebsocket.sln).
• Compile the project, this will result in a static lib (*.lib or *.a file).
• Add the header files (.h) from the QtWebsocket directory in your project.
• Link the generated static lib to your project.
• Compile your project !

Easy and hard method - Add the sources to your project

• Copy the QtWebsocket directory in your project.
• Add the header and cpp files in your project.
• Compile your project !
