Linking static library for BugSplat fails

[SebastianS]

Hy folks,

I am trying to include BugSplat into my project. I use Qt Creator for development and followed the instructions from the link.

When I want to build the project, I get the following error:

main.cpp:27: Fehler: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN13MiniDmpSenderC1EPKwS1_S1_S1_m'

Here is the project file:

QT       += core gui sql network

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = Mars
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += c++11

SOURCES +=\
    main.cpp \
    ...

HEADERS  += \
    ...
    ../BugSplat/inc/BugSplat.h

win32 {
    RC_FILE = Mars.rc
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS *= -fstack-protector-all --param ssp-buffer-size=1
    QMAKE_LFLAGS *= -fstack-protector-all --param ssp-buffer-size=1
}

DEFINES += QT_NO_DEBUG_OUTPUT \
           QT_NO_WARNING_OUTPUT

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../BugSplat/lib/ -lBugSplat
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../BugSplat/lib/ -lBugSplat

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../BugSplat
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../BugSplat

win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../BugSplat/lib/BugSplat.lib
else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/../BugSplat/lib/BugSplat.lib

And here is the main.cpp:

#include "../BugSplat/inc/BugSplat.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    // BugSplat initialization
    QString sApp = "TestName";
    wchar_t *app = new wchar_t[sApp.size() + 1];
    sApp.toWCharArray(app);

    QString sDataBase = "TestDataBase";
    wchar_t *dataBase = new wchar_t[sDataBase.size() + 1];
    sDataBase.toWCharArray(dataBase);

    QString sVersion = QString(GLOBAL_MARS_VERSION);
    wchar_t *version = new wchar_t[sVersion.size() + 1];
    sVersion.toWCharArray(version);

    MiniDmpSender *mpSender = new MiniDmpSender(app, dataBase, version, NULL);
    ...
}

I really got stucked there. I am using MinGW 4.9.2 as compiler.

Please give some ideas to solve this issue!

@SebastianS Which compiler was used to build that static library?
I'm asking because you cannot mix different compiler in same project (even not different versions of Visual C++ compiler).

[SebastianS]

Thanks @jsulm , the library was likely built with a Visual C++ compiler. So there is no change to include this in my project then?

[jsulm]

@SebastianS Not if you want to use MinGW. You either change to same Visual C++ compiler or get this library built with MinGW.

[SebastianS]

@jsulm Ok, I will see if switching to Visual C++ is not too uncomfortable and give it a try. Thanks a lot!

Hi. Please notice you will need to download a new Qt for VS. ( match version . 2013 / 2015)

You can setup Creator to use visual studio as compiler so there be
no change in that regards.
