    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

              your problem is not that it can't find the lib but that it finds it already and says it is incompatible.
              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

                      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..."
