Trying to build QMsgPack lib for Android 6.2.0 Clang arm64-v8a

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist do i even need the tests? :S

[SGaist]

Technically it ensures that the library is working properly if they run.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist ah, cause i tested now with "tests" commented out and all i got was

[SGaist]

Did you also comment out the \ as suggested ?

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist i did it like this

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    src
    #tests

[SGaist]

Did you do a full rebuild ? Meaning, nuking the build folder completely.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist yupp! deleted it and the rebuild it

[Kris Revi]

im still at a loss here :/ any help would be awsome!

[SGaist]

Put back the tests.

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
    src \
    tests

tests.depends = src

And select a test as build target.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist "And select a test as build target." ? :S how do i do that?

[SGaist]

On the left of Qt Creator, the target selection part.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist aaah i found it :)

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist

[SGaist]

Did you check the content of the build folder ?

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist

Build Folder

src folder

release folder

[SGaist]

There are several folders, what's in them ?
Do you have any library ?
If memory serves well, there should be a bin folder somewhere.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist i posted 2 more pictures above btw!

this is the bin folder

no libs :/

[SGaist]

On the contrary, you have two libraries !

They have their architecture as part of their name, hence the linker does not find them to link to the test.

If your rename them both without the arm64_v8a part, it should work.

[Kris Revi]

@SGaist now i got a diff error

[SGaist]

In the absolute, you can ignore that as the libraries were built so you can use them in your main application.

Otherwise, you can add a dummy application in a separate subdirs project to "finalize" things.
