[SOLVED]Can`t link FMOD in Windows.

heatblazer

Hello. I am using FMOD in my project. It`s working on linux, but when I try to compile Win32 it gives me that:
@
:-1: error: error: /FMOD/Win32/libs/ -lfmodex: No such file or directory
@
Here is my pro. file:

IMPORTANT. I am using qtcreator MingGW build under Fedora with Wine. So if there is a workaround please help.
[EDIT] Ive read about linking the libfmod.a if using mingw but I dont understand how to do it in the pro file or do I have to use the pragma?
[SOLVED] I was able to solve that problem now each time I click the circles the sound is played:

I have to bump this with the similar android question:
How to link it for android? I am using Qt creator for Fedora ( native not emulated ) and my FMOD dir is in tht QT project I wish to deploy to on my android device.

@
LIBS += "$$_PRO_FILE_PWD/FMOD/Win32/libs/ -lfmodex"

You're linking to fmod on linux but to fmodex on windows. This should be -lfmod for windows too.

I don't know about android.

OK. Here is what Ive changed: @ win32 { message("*using settings for windows") #FMOD INCLUDEPATH += /home/ilian/QT5/MathForFun/FMOD/Win32/api/lowlevel/inc/ LIBS += -L/home/ilian/QT5/MathForFun/FMOD/Win32/api/lowlevel/lib/ -lfmod } @ Now I get completely missing all of the functions I called with FMOD: @ Z:\home\ilian\QT5\MathForFun\FModePlayer.cpp:-1: error: undefined reference to FMOD::System::createSound(char const*, unsigned int, FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO*, FMOD::Sound**)@20'
@

So like I can`t get why is that :(

Chris Kawa

I know little about wine, but shouldn't you include the drive letter in the paths?
And have you re-run qmake after the changes?

heatblazer

I`ve tried with
@
LIBS += Z:/home/ilian/QT5/MathForFun/FMOD/Win32/api/lowlevel/lib/
@
and got this
@
:-1: error: cannot find Z:/home/ilian/QT5/MathForFun/FMOD/Win32/api/lowlevel/lib/: Permission denied
@
Weird stuff... I should try building it on real Windows with VSC :(

Chris Kawa

Sounds reasonable. Maybe try to chmod the permissions for that directory.

heatblazer

I did. Nothing happened. Ive also tried to point to this folder: @ Z:/home/ilian/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/FMOD SoundSystem/FMOD Studio API Windows/api/lowlevel/lib/ @ Apparently where Ive installed the fmod, but it tells me that
@
:-1: error: error: /home/ilian/.wine/drive_c/Program\Files/FMOD: No such file or directory
@
Really no idea....

Chris Kawa

You've got a space in the folder name "FMOD SoundSystem". Tools hate that.

heatblazer

So what should I do? Rename my dirs?

Chris Kawa

Either that or copy the relevant files to some path without spaces e.g. your app directory or something.

Here: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/2831-Qt-and-fmod is a guy who says its working. However I dont have libfmodex.a to my download for Windows. I have libfmod.a and libfmodL.a. I changed to this:
@
INCLUDEPATH += Z:/home/ilian/.wine/drive_c/FMODSoundSystem/FMODStudioAPIWindows/api/lowlevel/inc/
LIBS += Z:/home/ilian/.wine/drive_c/FMODSoundSystem/FMODStudioAPIWindows/api/lowlevel/lib/libfmod.a
@
But I still get the undefined references to all fmod functions I`ve called.

heatblazer

Thank you, mr.Chris Kawa. I was able to make it work in Wine + MinGW. Apparenlty Ive read there were C++ ABI problems, so Ive changed my function to the pure C API they support like that:
@
bool FMPlayer::systemInit(const char *fname, int len) {

FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO *info = new FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO();
info->cbsize = sizeof(FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO);
info->length = len;
FMOD_CHANNEL *channel;
//FMOD::Channel* channel;
//FMOD::System* system;
//FMOD::Sound* sound;
//FMOD::System_Create(&system);
FMOD_SYSTEM *system;
FMOD_SOUND *sound;
FMOD_System_Create(&system);
FMOD_System_Init(system, 32, FMOD_INIT_NORMAL, 0);

//system->init(32, FMOD_INIT_NORMAL, 0);
if ( FMOD_OK == ( FMOD_System_CreateSound(system,
                      fname,FMOD_OPENMEMORY, info, &sound)) ) {

// if ( FMOD_OK == system->createSound(fname,
// FMOD_OPENMEMORY, info, &sound) ) {

    FMOD_Sound_SetMode(sound, FMOD_LOOP_OFF);

// sound->setMode(FMOD_LOOP_OFF);
// system->playSound(sound, false, 0, &channel);
FMOD_System_PlaySound(system, sound, false, 0, &channel);
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

Ive left the commented code to see what Ive changed. Now it plays the desired sound... Whew. That was nasty. I got worried I wont be able to fix it. Thanks for the help. Ill avoid and whitespaces from now on. Regards from a newbie coder like me :)
