      So how to you link against the netlib library? Are you sure the netlib library is linked with the same compiler as Qt?

      The linking to net-library is done inside *.pro file:

      win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/release/ -lnetlib
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/debug/ -lnetlib
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/ -lnetlib

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

        The compile which I'm using is MSVC2017_64bit :

          MSVC needs the correct path instead -L and -l afaik

            Thanks :) The strange point is that I have two more libraries which I'm linking against with the same approach without any issue. But only this net library is giving me troubles!

              Maybe the function is not properly exported? Maybe take a look at the exported function declarations with Dependency Walker - make sure the export string (_imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ) shown there looks exactly the same.

                Good idea :) I'm going to employ dependency walker tools

                  I double-checked my netlib DLL with dependency walker, I can see the export:

                  0_1552303570459_5fc43f6a-1a49-4307-b5b4-156b5e8b1a6c-image.png

                  Also, on my main.obj I can see the import:

                  0_1552303780368_7fcee3d7-1947-477a-8391-4ff3c54e5ef9-image.png

                    I've no idea - does the linker really links against the import lib? Are other functions from within the library are resolved?

                      @m3g1dd While checking the netlib DLL is a good thing for avoiding failures when launching your application.exe (when the .dll is loaded), here the error occurs not when running the app, but when linking it, So the .dll is immaterial, you could instead check the netlib.lib file, that's what the linker is reading.

                      Dependency Walker isn't well suited for reading .lib files, but there's a tool in MSVC2017 called dumpbin, easiest is to start it from a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017. To get the complete information, use the /linkermember switch, say like this:

                      dumpbin /linkermember netlib.lib

                      Then check in the list if that symbol is exported, it should be 2 of them, one __imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ and one ?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ

                        Thanks! I run the command on Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 and I get the results, I can see both ?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ and __imp_?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ expressions:

                          I've no idea - does the linker really links against the import lib? Are other functions from within the library are resolved?

                          Thanks! Yes, other functions of netlib are linked fine. I will update if I figure out the cause :)

                            Hi, just to check, what version of MSVC did you use for Qt 5.11.3 (when the linking worked), was it MSVC 2017 32-bit or MSVC 2017 64-bit?

                              Hi! Thanks for follow up :)

                              For Qt 5.11.3 I'm using MSVC2017_64bit which works fine. My build directories are:

                              build-application-Desktop_Qt_5_11_3_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug
build-application-Desktop_Qt_5_11_3_MSVC2017_64bit-Release
build-application-Desktop_Qt_5_12_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug

                                New observation: I installed Qt5.12.0 and my application compiles/links/runs just fine. I'm going to re-install Qt5.12.1 ... I have a feeling maybe re-installing it will resolve linker errors ... lets see ...

                                  I reinstalled Qt 5.12.1 but it still throws the above-mentioned linker error. So basically, my observation is:

                                  1. On Windows, Qt 5.11.3 and 5.12.0 work fine
                                  2. On Windows, Qt 5.12.1 throws linker error
                                  3. On Linux openSUSE Leap 15, Qt 5.12.1 works fine

                                    Hmm, just to check again: release builds and debug builds on 5.12.0 MSVC 2017 links fine and dandy, but the same linker throws a tantrum both for release and debug builds on 5.12.1 MSVC 2017.

                                    Also, could do you a similar dumpbin on a 5.12.0 debug built netlib.lib as you did above for a 5.12.1 debug build?

                                        I double-checked to make sure nothing is missed:

                                        1. Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug links fine and application runs :)
                                        2. Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Release links fine and application runs :)
                                        3. Qt_5_12_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug throws:

                                        main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl NetLibrary::registerNetLibraryQML(void)" (_imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ) referenced in function main

                                        1. Qt_5_12_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Release throws:

                                        main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl NetLibrary::registerNetLibraryQML(void)" (_imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ) referenced in function main

                                        Also, here is the dumpbin for netlib.lib on Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug which links fine and works nice:

                                          Hi, the dumpbin for 5.12.1 is identical to 5.12.0. Seems netlib.lib is the innocent guy here. So it must be the client program, i.e. your main.cpp, perhaps some kind of visibility problem. We're running out of options so I'm thinking you could try renaming your library to something less generic/vanilla (there are many other libraries called netlib.xxx out there, perhaps one of them has snuck into in 5.12.1)

                                          So say instead of netlib you could call it m3gnetlib (prefixing with half of your username).
                                          That would mean changing the .pro file, the .h and .cpp files and also the #define from NETLIBSHARED_EXPORT to M3GNETLIBSHARED_EXPORT.

                                          I remember running into similar inexplicable issues in the past, and renaming the files helped (sometimes :-)
