## Adding a library to Nixpkgs
Add a Qt library to all-packages.nix by adding it to the collection inside `mkLibsForQt5`. This ensures that the library is built with every available version of Qt as needed.
### Example Adding a Qt library to all-packages.nix {#qt-library-all-packages-nix}
Qt libraries are added to `qt5-packages.nix` and are made available for every Qt
version supported.
### Example adding a Qt library {#qt-library-all-packages-nix}
The following represents the contents of `qt5-packages.nix`.
```
{
# ...
mkLibsForQt5 = self: with self; {
# ...
mylib = callPackage ../path/to/mylib {};
};
mylib = callPackage ../path/to/mylib {};
# ...
}
```
## Adding an application to Nixpkgs
Add a Qt application to *all-packages.nix* using `libsForQt5.callPackage` instead of the usual `callPackage`. The former ensures that all dependencies are built with the same version of Qt.
Applications that use Qt are also added to `qt5-packages.nix`. An alias is added
in the top-level `all-packages.nix` pointing to the package with the desired Qt5 version.
### Example Adding a QT application to all-packages.nix {#qt-application-all-packages-nix}
