Can't add HDF5 library in empty Qt-project

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist As far as I see yes. I marked it with bold style.
The compilator output uses backslashes () and I use slash (/) when pointing a directory. In Windows 7 slashes worked normally, couldn't that be a reason in Windows 10?

SGaist

That's surprising... the slash/backslash conversion should be handled automatically for you.

What happens if you uses backslashes in your .pro file ?

@SGaist Now I wrote:

LIBS += С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_1106\lib\libhdf5_D.lib \
        С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_1106\lib\libhdf5_hl_D.lib \
        С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\ZLIB\lib\libzlib_D.lib

INCLUDEPATH += С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_1106\include \
               С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\ZLIB\include
DEPENDPATH += С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_1106\include \
              С:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\ZLIB\include

and I get the same error:

Both variants are possible? That is useful because I always forget the way I should use slash or backslash :)

SGaist

Well, by default use forward slashes. Qt does the conversion and you even have specific functions in QDir for converting if you need the native version.

Can you show the exact path where the header is located including the file name ?

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist ok
i write from my phone now but it is here:
C:/apps/MSVC_debug/HDF5_1106/lib/libhdf5_D.lib
C:/apps/MSVC_debug/HDF5_1106/include

I probably mistaken a little but there is no spaces in path.
A little bit later i can copy the correct path

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist On SSD disk include directory that contains "hdf5.h" is in:
C:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_1106\include\hdf5.h

And on HDD disk (that used to be the C:\ folder when I had Windows 7):
E:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\HDF5_NO_MPI\include\hdf5.h

SGaist

Might be a silly question but do you have proper read access to these folders ?

One other thing to try, create a new default project and just put the minimal needed to use hdf5.

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist yes I have permission. And yesterday I've tried to create new project and copy the content to it but it did't solve the problem.

Few minuts ago I just tried the following. I have two QtCreator: one is standart that comes with Qt (compiled with MSVC 32 C:\Qt\Tools\QtCreator) and other I installed to the folder C:\Qt\Tools\qtcreator-4.11.0 that is compiled with MSVC 64. Yesterday I was trying to use the one that compiled with MSVC 64. But now I tried to use standart QtCreator x32 and it runs the apllication without problem. After that I launched QtCreator x64 and it runs too.

I don't know why this happened but I think there is two possible reasons:

I always used wrong path to the library and include directory (I checked it many times but still such things sometimes happen)
something that is connected with the build type of QtCreator x32 or x64 (or how they were installed or kits). Both of them of version 4.11.0

SGaist

What I meant was to not use anything from your other project so you would have something completely independent.

As for Qt Creator, its architecture has nothing to do with the architecture of the Qt version you are using.

Anyway, glad you have it working now !

@SGaist Thank you for the time you spent!
