    Hey guys,
    i have been trying to build a simple image reading script using opencv from the tutorial given on the Qt wiki page after adding all the files and libraries in my .pro file i get this linker error.
    My .pro file looks like this

    Hi and welcome to devnet forum

    What happens with a simple project without opencv?

    FYI as noted above I have added code tags to your post.

      additionally to what @koahnig said, can you show us the Compile Output tab instead of the Issues tab, that should have more information, about what is going wrong.

          Hi,

          You seem to have both a CMakelist.txt file and a .pro file. Which are you using to build your project ?

            Without opencv it builds fine..
            like the example files given by the qt builds without any problem.
            I am not sure if the environment is not set as required or i am not including some paths.
            can you please help me with this.

              I missed on thing: you don't link against .dll files, you link against .lib files, you should start by fixing that.

                I am just using the .pro file
                the Cmake file is just me trying to figure out a way to loop back to working conditions with opencv.
                but the .pro file gives me this error.

                  As already written, fix the LIBS statement to link against the OpenCV libraries properly.

                  You can use Qt Creator add library feature for that.

                    I fixed that ...its still the same.
                    I think it has to do something with some header files maybe

                      Does it happen when you try to link against the HighGui library ?

                        @SGaist yeah it still shows the same error.
                        i even tried including the libraries one by one..it still does not work
                        Do you think my code has some problems??

                          Do you mean, you have that problem when you link any of the OpenCV libraries ?

                            @SGaist Yes
                            I tried using MingW compiler and it works fine with the building of the CmakeLists.txt file and i get the required output.
                            its just the compiler MSVC15 2017 x64 that i s not able to build the project.
                            Even with the Cmake it does not run as intended.

                              On Windows, you can't mix and match C++ libraries built with different compilers. The only exception currently is VS2017 being backward compatible with VS2015.

                                @SGaist
                                So why am i getting the error for the ".obj" file not found
                                As shown in the example that i posted..its just configured to be used with Qt 5.12.0MSVC2017 x64
                                So why does it not work.

                                i was just trying different ways to make it work with a different compiler to check the integrity of my program .

                                  You should compare the Makefile generated by your CMake project and the one from the .pro file

                                    Is there something specific that i should be looking for??
                                    I am not an expert in debugging by just looking at the 2 files.

                                      On Windows, you can't mix and match C++ libraries built with different compilers. The only exception currently is VS2017 being backward compatible with VS2015.

                                      Let's go back a step. Firstly your LIBS variable is incorrect. Secondly you're linking system libraries which from the code example it seems you shouldn't. And thirdly, if a set of libraries worked with mingw then they were compiled with mingw (hence the quote from @SGaist). That set of libraries can not, and shall not be used with msvc, ever. You need a set of libraries compiled with msvc to use them in an application built with msvc. This also extends to the msvc version - for example msvc2015 isn't backwards compatible, so you likely need to match the versions as well.

                                        I have specific set of libraries for both mingw and msvc.
                                        Also, i linked the system libraries in the .pro file as it was not accepting them from the system variables "PATH"
                                        My issue is just during the compilation with opencv.

                                        For eg., Qt has its included examples just to try out for beginners, those examples run completely fine, which means the problem lies somewhere in the code itself which i wrote.

                                        these are all the compilers i have which are seperately

                                        I need to get my default compiler to work with opencv.
                                        thats my end goal

                                          Okay, let me rephrase:

                                          INCLUDEPATH += "D:\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt"
                                          INCLUDEPATH += "D:\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\ucrt\sys"
                                          

                                          Why do you need this?

                                          LIBS += D:\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.17763.0\um\x64\shell32.lib
                                          

                                          What part of the system API you're using, so you need this one? (may be the source of your error too).

                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_core400.dll
                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_highgui400.dll
                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_imgcodecs400.dll
                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_imgproc400.dll
                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_features2d400.dll
                                          LIBS += D:\OpenCV\opencv\build\bin\Release\opencv_calib3d400.dll
                                          

                                          One does not link .dlls, one links against them with the help of a .lib.

                                          PS.
                                          Did you compile opencv with the version of msvc you're trying the build the application with?
