Hi Giovanni,

Sure you can do this,
There is no option in Qt project file to specify library path, but it is
command line option for gcc. You can specify this path with -L option.
So as you did was almost right, you made only one error, -L must specify
path to directory with libraries, not to library file. So, in your case,
you must write in project file:

LIBS += -L lib/ -lssh

You must specify the path relative to directory where make is running or
absolute path.

But I think, it is better idea to put libraries in "system" directory
where other libs are.
