    @aisak library path is not correct..
    -L"library path"
    In path you are specified as win64/libxml2
    It will search for win64/libxml2/libxml2.lib
    Whereas your library exists in win64/libxml2.lib

      u mean this?:

      LIBS += -L"$$PWD/win64/" -lxml2

      doesn't work either.

          have it in the folder, but it doesnt appear in the QT tree:

          pro3.jpg

          Edited:

          Have added the library, right clicking on FmuPro folder ->add library -> External library -> select the library and it set the neccesary paths to .pro, anyway show the same error.

            Hi,

            Did you check the content of the generated Makefiles ?
            Did you check the build log to see if you where having strange path in there ?

              @SGaist as u can see in the picture, haven't any Makefile, where can i see the log? should be the makefile hiden at any other folder ?

              I'm having the error just after click build, there is no time to generate anything.

                @aisak said in error: LNK1104: can not open the file 'libxml2.lib':

                Makefile

                Makefiles are in the build folder

                    There's no mention of libxml2 in it.

                    Did you do a full rebuild from scratch ?

                      @aisak looks like you need to upload Makefile.Debug/Release
