Link external library - undefined reference to function

Vi67

Hello,

I would like to add an external library called pHash. I added this to .pro file :

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4/release -lpHash
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4/debug -lpHash

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4/release/pHash.lib
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/Libs/pHash-0.9.4/debug/pHash.lib

But no one function of the library is working. When I try to use one, I have build error "undefined reference to pHashFunction". There is an example of use :

#include "myclass.h"

#define HAVE_IMAGE_HASH 1 // config
#include "pHash.h"

void MyClass::perform() {
	const char *msg = ph_about();
	qDebug() << msg;
}

Then there is the build log :

Thank you in advance for your help :)

Hi,

What compiler was used to build pHash ?

Vi67

Finally I used a similar library in server side.
pHash library wasn't compatible with Qt5
