[solved]Use x64 DLL

[SGaist]

Hi,

Are you trying to link your 64bit DLL with a 32bit Qt build ?

@SGaist
Yes.

TestDllToQT.lib

It's impossible, you need to have your TestDllToQT.lib compile in the same architecture.

Is there a way to make my Qt project x64 and compatible with the dll? I could compile the dll in x32 but I would prefer not to.

Use a 64bit Qt build

Here there was pre-build qt x 64 but the server not respond. :(
You need to find (or compile) qt in 64 bits

(http://sourceforge.net/projects/qt64ng/files/qt/x86-64/5.4.2/mingw-5.1/seh/)

I've downloaded msvc2012 from here and Qt Creator 3.5.0 x64 from here. I have installed them and changed the kit and compiler but i still get those errors.

Any ideas?

Hi catalin1122,
when linking against your dll you have to import the symbols, when creating the dll the symbols have to be exported this is usually done with some macros like in the following link - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/538134/exporting-functions-from-a-dll-with-dllexport

Hi,
I did that, except the part extern "C".

When I import the DLL how do I do it in Qt? Now I do it statically (in *.pro) and I get those errors. The thing is that when I compile the DLL on x32 it works the way I do it. But not in x64.

You just defined the export not import. Qt's Creating Shared Library documentation chapter explain how to do it properly

Hi, SGaist is correct, just want to add, to see an example how to use Q_DECL_EXPORT and Q_DECL_IMPORT, you can create a test project in Qt Creator: New File or Project, Library, C++ Library. Look in the xxx_global.h file created...

Thank you for helping me!

You were right, I did not import the symbols.

I added this :

#ifdef GAME_EXPORTS
#    define  GAME_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#    define  GAME_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

to my DLL code and now everything works.

Have a nice day, you rock! :-)
