Errors: undefined reference to cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture()

@jsulm

I try it and I get the error:
Executable failed: During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.

[jsulm]

@Arev said in Errors: undefined reference to cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture():

static cv::VideoCapture cap

Does it work without this line?
Why is cap static?

[Arev]

@jsulm

cv::VideoCapture:

This is a class from the OpenCV library used for capturing video from camera devices or video files. It provides methods to open, read, and manage video streams.
By declaring cap as static, it's accessible across all instances of the class, and there will be only one instance of it throughout the program execution.

@Arev I did not ask what it is, I asked whether your app starts if this line is not there.

[Arev]

@jsulm

Oh sorry, I created another test app and added that line that nothing in the app depended on and it didn't work and didn't cause any problems, but without that line the app works.

@Arev said in Errors: undefined reference to cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture():

0xc0000135

This error code means: STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND
Looks like the cv libs are not found when starting your app. How do you start it? From QtCreator?

I can share code

@Arev You did not answer my question

[Arev]

@jsulm
Yes, from Qt creator

[Arev]

@jsulm

In the .pro file I have not added these two lines

CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
PKGCONFIG += opencv4

could this be the reason?
And after adding I get this problem:

opencv4 development package not found

[SGaist]

@Arev hi,

Are you sure about the pkgconfig package name ? If so, where is its .pc file located ?

[Arev]

@SGaist said in Errors: undefined reference to cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture():

.pc

what is .pc file (
I do not have that file, where can I get

[SGaist]

@Arev it's the pkgconfig configuration file. Each library / framework can provide it (or you can create your own).
