Spdlog library can't open in the Qt.

@SGaist said in Spdlog library can't open in the Qt.:

Are you sure that these libs are static ? A .lib file can either be a static library or import library that will require the use of a dll at run time.

The spdlog library is either header-only or static.

@SGaist
The problem is in the spdlog::info function line. When I delete this line, I don't get errors.

[SGaist]

Do you have it working if you copy the code of the examples in the library documentation (without any Qt stuff) ?

Have you tried the header-only approach?

[Enes Alp]

Yes, I tried but I get the same result.

#include <spdlog/spdlog.h>

int main() {

  spdlog::info("Welcome to spdlog");

  return 0;
}

QT -= gui

CONFIG += c++11 console
CONFIG -= app_bundle

##- spdlog installed by default c:/dev/vcpkg

SPDLOG_ROOT = c:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows

exists($$SPDLOG_ROOT) {
    LIBS        += -L$$SPDLOG_ROOT/lib -lspdlog -lfmt

    INCLUDEPATH += $$SPDLOG_ROOT/include
    DEPENDPATH += $$SPDLOG_ROOT/include

    DESTDIR_WIN = $$replace(DESTDIR, "/", "\\")
    SPDLOG_ROOT_WIN = $$replace(SPDLOG_ROOT, "/", "\\")
}


# You can make your code fail to compile if it uses deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

But you don't have change anything, so the result will still be the same.
Header only approach means you add each spdlog header file in INCLUDES and remove spdlog from LIBS.

@KroMignon

The Header-only approach is working but how can I add a static link?

INCLUDEPATH += C:/Users/enesa/Documents/Test-Qt-Cpp/include/spdlog/include

[SGaist]

The concept of header only librairies is that you do not have anything to link.

[Enes Alp]

@SGaist

In the doc, the static lib version is much faster in compile time.
What is the meaning of this, you know?

[SGaist]

The header only library means that you do not have to link anything but this means that you will build everything you use from it on each build.
