Unreferenced Libraries?

You might use the nm tool to see which symbols are exported from your library.

Are you trying to mix MSVC and MinGW-compiled code? Not a good Idea!!

If you are using Qt Creator, have a look at the library template.[/quote]

I read the qMake Project Files section "Declaring Other Libraries" and don't see what I haven't done correctly.

Is this a QT tool I don't see it anywhere

Again, did you compile your library with mingw? It doesn't seem that way because mingw static library files have a .a extension. You cannot mix MSVC and MinGW.

ah i see. so i'd have to use the MinGW in visual studio to build a library.

You'd have to either build both the library and app with MinGW or both with MSVC.

nm comes with MinGW, which is part of the Qt SDK. Just open a Qt command promt and type nm <binary> to get a list of exported symbols.

(Although it comes with MinGW it should work with any PE - read MSVC - binaries).
