WinAPI with Qt

[RomanShteff]

Thanks for link to "Declaring Other Libraries". For example if I have my project in directory
"C:\Project", and my library is "mylib.dll" I should write in .pro-file:

@
LIBS += C:\Project\mylib.dll
@

Is it correct?

[EDIT: code formatting, Volker]

[giesbert]

no, wrong

you write:

for MSVC tool chain
@
LIBS += C:\Project\mylib.lib
@

for gcc tool chain:
@
LIBS += $$quote(-LC:\Project) -lmylib
@

Or better

@win32:LIBS += C:\Project\mylib.lib@

@unix:LIBS += $$quote(-LC:\Project) -lmylib@

[giesbert]

but if you use gcc on windows, it will have problems with mylib.lib

[minimoog77]

LOL, I usually forget that there is GCC for Windows... :)

[RomanShteff]

I use Qt Creator.

That's the IDE, not the compiler tool chain. You can use both (VisualStudio or GCC/MinGW) with Qt Creator and your .pro file must be set up correctly for the one you use.

The default open source installation of Qt Creator/SDK for Windows comes with MinGW as far as I know.

[RomanShteff]

Yeah, I have default open source installation. But I have .dll, not .lib

[giesbert]

and you then have .a files. and for gcc, you use:

@
LIBS += -L<path to dlls> -l<dll name without extension>
@

Thanks to all!
