[SOLVED] Qt Creator - Can't release always debug && Entry point not found in QtGui4.dll

SGaist

Hi,

Do you have a CONFIG += debug line somewhere in your project ?

koahnig

I have filed a "bug report":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9972 on the issue. You may want to add more specifics if you have any.

Elfayer

"Try rerunning qmake for the project."

How do I do that ? In Qt Creator ?

"Do you have a CONFIG += debug line somewhere in your project ?"

You mean in my .pro ? In my .pro, I only have the SOURCES and the HEADERS.

"I have filed a bug report"

Thanks :)

Ok, sounds better, I've changed the "debug" to "release" manually in Qt creator > Projects, Compilation steps, QMake configuration for compiling.

Now, qmake call :

qmake.exe C:...\test.pro -r -spec win32-msvc2010 "CONFIG+=release" "CONFIG+=declarative_debug"

But I still have an issue : The enter point of the program is not found :

"?doItemsLayout@TableView@@UAEXXZ is not found in the dynamic library QtGui4.dll".

You can rerun qmake in the projects pane which should be left to your editor window. You can go to the project and right click.
You will see a new pull-down window showing several entries like:
@
Set <your project> as Active Project"
Build
Run qmake
Deploy
Run
Rebuild
Clean
...
@

"Run qmake" is what I meant.

"CONFIG+=declarative_debug" should not be in there for a release mode compilation. It should be present only for debug mode compilations.

Here is what I have so far :

bq. You can go to the project and right click.

And sorry, I didn't understand where you wanted me to right click.

I got this files in my release directory :

You can display pictures directly in your post by using the "picture button.":http://qt-project.org/wiki/ForumHelp#b642e0c67b7a32cc0b833ea119693dce

I have updated the picture links for you.

See this picture below with the Projects pane. The project has a grey bar in background in this case. Place mouse cursor above and right click, you should see a menu opening:

I first did, but the picture is going in front of the profile.

Ok, i've finally found and "run qmake". But the problem persist, I still have the error :
“The entry point of procedure ?doItemsLayout@TableView@@UAEXXZ is not found in the dynamic library QtGui4.dll”

Hmmm...

Looks like a mix up of dlls. Do you have several Qt versions on your machine?
How do you start in release mode? Through creator?

Saw your reference to mingwm10.dll in your first post. Do you mix mingw and msvc compilations?
That is not going to work for sure. The binaries are not compatible. Also you cannot mix between versions of the same compiler (within versions of msvc or within versions of mingw).

Elfayer

You can see the parameters of my compilation above. I guess by the following picture that I have two versions of Qt and I'm compiling with Qt Creator.

Sorry, I don't know.

Those are the ones assigned to your project.

Go to "Tools"->"options"->"Build&Run" there you find the different "Qt versions", "Compilers" and "Kits" recognized by Qt creator.

For your project handling you should do a complete rebuild of the project. Same place as you found "Run qmake" there should be "Clean" and "Rebuild". It would be good enough to run rebuild, but clean before does not hurt.

This wont affect my .cpp files ?

I did, same error :
“The entry point of procedure ?doItemsLayout@TableView@@UAEXXZ is not found in the dynamic library QtGui4.dll”

I've found some topic on the same error on google, but I don't know what to do with it... It seems it come from the PATH environment :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11484000/qtgui4-dll-entry-point-not-found

PS: Also see the previous message.

You have an old mingw version on your machine (3rd entry) not sure what is.

"Clean" and "Rebuild" do affect only the generated files as .obj, libs, generated by the moc and ui stuff. You will keep your source. Otherwise something is completely wrong.

koahnig

Those posts are referring in principle also to a mix up of libs.

You can check your environment path in a cmd prompt, by typing "path" and pressing return. Typically the output will be fairly long. Check whether there is an entry pointing to the msvc2008 you have on your machine.

Alternatively, you can go also to the Build&Run page of your project. At the bottom is "System environment". There is also the "path" of the environment. Again no msvc2008 is allowed. You have only Qt libs compiled for msvc2010, so you can use only this compiler.

Check also for references to the mingw build in path. They have to be out as well.

Check, if the msvc2010 compiler tool chain is assigned to msvc2010 Qt libs. Your menu is looking different from mine and it is not only the language. I assume that you have an old qt creator version (cannot have a look right away), consider updating to the newest one.

How can I update my QtCreator? I tried to update from QtCreator in Help>Start update tool and it says "No updates available".
I think I've downloaded it from the nokia developpemer web site.

koahnig

You can download "Qt creator 2.8 from download page.":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qtcreator/2.8/2.8.0/qt-creator-windows-opensource-2.8.0.exe

You can also download and install "Qt 4.8.5 for msvc2010":http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-win-opensource-4.8.5-vs2010.exe from there.

AFAIK the nokia page is outdated already for some time. Probably you might get some maintenance stuff for Nokia mobile programming, but I do really not know.

Your path setting looks fine to me. The only thing I am noting is the MikTex 2.9 setting. This caused problem in my setup some time ago. However, this is fairly late in the path setting and IIRC the path variable is used from start to end.

One last "stupid" thought, you are not trying to compile as 64 bit app?
All I saw on previous pages is referring to 32 bit, so there is only a little chance.

Elfayer

bq. you are not trying to compile as 64 bit app?

How can I know that ? Why would it be a problem ?

I've downloaded your links, I don't have debug and can only release, but anyway, I'm having the same issue. I'm compiling, adding QtGui4.dll, QtCore4.dll and mingwm10.dll to the directory, and I still have the entry problem. This thing is making me mad...

What do I have to do with "Qt 4.8.5 for msvc2010" ? Anything dor the compilation ?
