@saeedBaba Maybe you need to link agains opencv_imcodec?

[saeedBaba]

@jsulm Please explain how to do that?

I have been able to make it work with CMake but not qmake.
is this correct that qmake caanot work with opencv without CMake?

[jsulm]

@saeedBaba said in Symbols not found for architecture x86_64 MacOS Yosemite:

Please explain how to do that?

In exact same way you do it for other opencv_* libs in your pro file. But I'm not sure there is actually libopencv_imcodec.
"is this correct that qmake caanot work with opencv without CMake?" - not sure what you mean, qmake does not depend on CMake in any way.

How did you install the OpenCV libs? Did you build them by yourself? Using same compiler?

[saeedBaba]

@jsulm said in Symbols not found for architecture x86_64 MacOS Yosemite:

build t

I did not build anything. I just installed opencv and just includepath to the directory.
Am I supposed to build libs? How one does that?

Is not this supposed to be a straight forward process? Why cannot qt make it simpler?

[jsulm]

@saeedBaba said in Symbols not found for architecture x86_64 MacOS Yosemite:

What does Qt have to do with OpenCV?!

I did not say you have to build it, I wanted to know how you installed it.
The problem could be that the compiler used to build OpenCV isn't compatible with what was used to build Qt.

[saeedBaba]

ok I still do not know how to solve this.

How can I reinstall opencv to be compatible?

[jsulm]

@saeedBaba said in Symbols not found for architecture x86_64 MacOS Yosemite:

You could build OpenCV by yourself using same compiler as you use for your Qt project.
See https://docs.opencv.org/master/d0/db2/tutorial_macos_install.html for details.

But maybe we should first clarify that this is really the issue.
Can you post whole build log? At least the part where linker is called and its output. Usually linker would print a warning if it dismisses an incompatible library.

[jsulm]

@saeedBaba Looks good.
Please try to add opencv_imcodec to LIBS as I suggested before. I think this is the lib where cv::imread is actually defined.

@saeedBaba Did you do a complete rebuild after changing pro file? Delete build folder, run qmake and build?

@saeedBaba I don't see -lopencv_imcodec in the linker call.
Please post your current pro file, it looks like you forgot to put - in -opencv_imcodec -> should be -lopencv_imcodec
And I think it should be: -lopencv_imgcodecs

THANKS ALOT!

IT IS FINALLY WORKING!!!!

can you give me a reputation so I can post faster?

one more question:
How can I know what libraries to include for the future? how should I check?

[jsulm]

@saeedBaba said in Symbols not found for architecture x86_64 MacOS Yosemite:

How can I know what libraries to include for the future? how should I check?

In case of OpenCV you can see in the documentation URL: https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d4/da8/group__imgcodecs.html and from the include header (at least in this case):

#include <opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp>

2- Is there any way to include the whole thing in .pro file and then just include required hpp in the cpp file? I do the same thing when using CMake.

You should only link what is really needed. Else you will have to provide libs which are not used by your app making your package unnecessary big.

"I get the same error for this code" - if it is the same error, then the solution is also same.
But I guess the error is not same? Please post the error.
