Integrating exiv2 with Qt

[saitej]

@SGaist

The system is 64 bit and mingw & QT are 32 bit. Is this creating the problem?

[SGaist]

No, 64bit Windows can run both 32 and 64bits application.

You have to distribute the MinGW dependencies though.

Did you use windeployqt to prepare your application for distribution ?

These are errors for the built exiv2 library dll file which I am using in a QT project. When I run the the project, it the program exits immediately but it compiles successfully. So I wanted to check if I am missing any of its dependencies to include in the qt project.

[SGaist]

How did you build exiv2 ? With which compiler ?

[saitej]

@SGaist

via mingw 32 make and make install

[SGaist]

The same you installed with Qt ?

[saitej]

@SGaist

No I have installed from msys ... I will try installing with the mingw from QT and get back.

@SGaist

I have tried installing with QT provided libraries (g++ and gcc) via Qt 5.6 mingw terminal but I get the same error.

During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135

[SGaist]

Did you add the path to where the exiv2.dll can be found the PATH environment variable in the Run part of the Project panel ?

[saitej]

@SGaist

Ya

[SGaist]

Then can you copy it in the same folder as the application to be really sure it can be found ?

[saitej]

@SGaist

I have actually tried building in the application folder using prefix option but that didn't work too :(

[SGaist]

Prefix option ?

[saitej]

@SGaist

I have configured the application folder as the build path of exiv2 and built the library in the application folder itself. So I am sure it is in the path of the application.
./configure --prefix="application dir path"

Except that the .dll might be removed at any time if you cleanup the build dir of your application.

Put that .dll in a known location and either use it from there or copy it to the build dir of your application.
