Make issues with Qt Creator Plugin

[SGaist]

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Something is not completely clear, did you compile Qt Creator yourself ?

If not, are you using the same compiler, architecture and Qt version used to build the Qt Creator you are trying to build your plugin for ?

[eloprey]

@SGaist Yes, I compiled Qt creator from the source code in the GitHub repository. A already had Qt version 5.12.0 so I just went from there.

[SGaist]

What version of Qt Creator are you building ?

By the way, Github is merely a mirror. You should download the code from https://code.qt.io

[eloprey]

@SGaist I built Qt Creator version 4.9.0-beta1 which is based off Qt version 5.12.0

[SGaist]

Did you check for the presence of the Cored4.lib file in your Qt Creator build ?

[eloprey]

@SGaist I tried looking for it but I found another file called core4.dll

[SGaist]

So you have a release build of Qt Creator and you are trying to build a debug version of your plugin.

[eloprey]

@SGaist So, do I need to make a release version of the plugin instead?

[SGaist]

That or a debug build of Qt Creator.

@eloprey Just to add to @SGaist,

it is a Windows problem that you can't mix debug and release libraries, nothing Qt specific.

It applies to all other applications too.
