Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library dxgi.dll

Also if I make shared library application do not show anything no screen shown.
Thank you

Finally I found problem
My working solution step by step:
1- Install fresh windows 7 on VMware and update to latest verion (Windows 7 x86 SP1) with Accelerate Direct 3D or any windows 7 installed on your computer
2- Install visual studio 2015 Update3 with visual c++
3- DirectX Sdk latest version

• Download and Install Python (https://www.python.org/downloads/).
• Make sure that Microsoft Visual Studio is installed.
• Create directory: “C:\Qt\Static“
• Copy downloaded Qt archive to this folder and extract it there. “C:\Qt\Static\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0“
• Edit file “C:\Qt\Static\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0\qtbase\mkspecs\common\msvc-desktop.conf” and replace all MD to MT to remove dependency on msvc dlls, in the following lines:

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE    = -O2 -MD

• Start the Visual Studio 2015 Command Prompt (VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt).
• Change directory to source code download folder.

cd C:\Qt\Static\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.8.0

Wait until finished :)
Jobs done.
Now work on all OS version above windows 7
Now build project by this QT

[hskoglund]

H, I think this is because Direct3D12 requires Windows 10, so Windows 7 is not supported. Try using "OpenGL" or "Software" settings instead...

[Cinohee]

@hskoglund
How I can enable openGl or Software settings?

[Cinohee]

@hskoglund
The problem is I can run project in debug mode both opengl and d3d12 but when I build by Qt static this error happened.
I set to OpenGl or Software but nothing happen in static build but now I can run in mingw(software render)

If i use shared dll project is run but do not show any thing

Programming system:
Windows server 2008 R2

@Cinohee said in Entry Point Not Found : The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library dxgi.dll:

if I make shared library application do not show anything no screen shown.

Some questions:

1. What graphics card does your Windows 7 PC have?
2. What graphics card does your Windows 10 PC have?
3. Are you using Qt Quick or OpenGL?
4. Are you using any 3rd-party libraries?

[Cinohee]

@JKSH

1. Windows 7 is AmdGraphic card HD Series but I design under the RDP Virtual machine Windows server 2008R2
2. Windows 10 is another AMD HD series like windows 7 (windows 7 do not support D3D12)
3. Qt Quick
4. No

I got the same problem on both of two Windows 7 computers. Neither debug nor release build is working.

Unfortunately, Cinohee's solution didn't work for me either. Since this is marked as Solved, I probably should create another thread :(

[PaulFreund]

I found the solution for this specific error. the d3d12 component calls the CreateDXGIFactory2 function which makes all you statically compiled applications depend on the DXGI dll.

To get around this add

-no-feature-d3d12

to your configure call.

I used in full:

configure.bat -prefix "C:\Qt\5.9\msvc2015_static" -release -platform win32-msvc -confirm-license -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake tools -static -static-runtime -opengl dynamic -angle -combined-angle-lib -no-feature-d3d12

Also note that I had very bad expeciences with rebuilding Qt on windows, I recommend always starting with a clean Src folder (copy a backup fresh after downloading) and not relying on clean/distclean. Also sometimes I got compilation errors which were resolved after starting jom a second time.
