    @lucas_1603 Can you show the linker call? Either it can't find the lib or the lib is not compatible.

    @jsulm You mean this one (sorry if I misunderstood what you mean):

      @lucas_1603 Yes, your taglib is not compatible with the compiler you're using.
      Do you really use exact same compiler you used to compile taglib?

        @jsulm I built taglib with MinGW and in this project I think it also built with MinGW

          @lucas_1603 I'm not a Windows expert, but I think you really need .lib file on Windows at build time, not .dll

              Hi,

              One other thing that you can try is to link directly to the static .a library. Use the full path to that file using $$PWD.

                @jsulm I would like to describe more details for you to understand my problems clearly


                This is exactly what I have tried :

                After downloading taglib (version 1.11.1) from taglib.org, I built it with cmake and got a .dll and a .dll.a file. Then I brought taglib folder to where my Qt project folder is in and named it 'myTaglib' as this picture

                0_1568179046840_d68d612f-8fa6-4b6b-a3cd-6f08b865a89c-image.png

                When I go to 'myTaglib' folder, I'll get these items

                0_1568179174653_477fd0c0-2ce1-449c-9514-859557de7c2f-image.png
                Now jumping into .pro file, I tried to link to taglib:

                QT += quick multimedia core
                CONFIG += c++11
                INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/myTaglib
                DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/myTaglib
                LIBS += -L$$PWD/myTaglib -ltag
                

                And in header file, I included necessary files and using namespace TagLib like this:

                #include <tag.h>
                #include <fileref.h>
                #include <mpeg/id3v2/id3v2tag.h>
                #include <mpeg/mpegfile.h>
                #include <mpeg/id3v2/id3v2frame.h>
                #include <mpeg/id3v2/id3v2header.h>
                #include <mpeg/id3v2/frames/attachedpictureframe.h>
                using namespace TagLib;
                

                After all, I built my project and got some errors:

                ...
                undefined reference to `__imp__ZN6TagLib8FileNameC1EPKc' in player.cpp - line 94
                undefined reference to `__imp__ZN6TagLib7FileRefC1ENS_8FileNameEbNS_15AudioProperties9ReadStyleE' in player.cpp - line 94
                undefined reference to `__imp__ZNK6TagLib7FileRef3tagEv' in player.cpp - line 95
                undefined reference to `__imp__ZNK6TagLib6String10toCWStringEv' in player.cpp - line 97
                undefined reference to `__imp__ZNK6TagLib6String10toCWStringEv' in player.cpp - line 96
                ...
                

                Then, I checked these lines but it didn't show something like underlined error or red text or something like that, you can see this picture

                  @sgaist I tried this:

                  LIBS += -L$$PWD/myTaglib -llibtag.dll.a
                  

                  But the linker said "cannot find -llibtag.dll.a"

                    As already suggested, try with LIBS += -l$$PWD/myTagLib/libtag.dll.a

                        So you need to change the compiler in either of your 2 compilations.

                          I don't know why libtag.dll.a was in the same folder as my project (Drive E) but it said "cannot find..."

                            I built taglib with MinGW and I also did that for my project.
                            I built taglib by this code block (followed by this tutorial):

                            cd $TAGLIB
                            mkdir build
                            cd build
                            cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++.exe -D CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make.exe -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME=OFF ..
                            

                            And here is the compiler of my project:

                            0_1568188775836_119ffd66-6a39-49df-8bb2-53939d217323-image.png

                              @lucas_1603 Come on, your lib is called libtag.a not libtag.dll.a, so please change it to

                              LIBS += -l$$PWD/myTagLib/libtag.a

                                @lucas_1603 Come on, your lib is called libtag.a not libtag.dll.a, so please change it to

                                LIBS += -l$$PWD/myTagLib/libtag.a

                                As @raven-worx suggested, I renamed libtag.dll.a to libtag.a and then I tried with LIBS += -l$$PWD/myTaglib/libtag.a as you said but it still didn't work, here is what I got:

                                Even though I had libtag.a in my myTaglib folder but the linker said "cannot find..."
