    Hmm, just to check again: release builds and debug builds on 5.12.0 MSVC 2017 links fine and dandy, but the same linker throws a tantrum both for release and debug builds on 5.12.1 MSVC 2017.

    Also, could do you a similar dumpbin on a 5.12.0 debug built netlib.lib as you did above for a 5.12.1 debug build?

    I double-checked to make sure nothing is missed:

    1. Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug links fine and application runs :)
    2. Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Release links fine and application runs :)
    3. Qt_5_12_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug throws:

    main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl NetLibrary::registerNetLibraryQML(void)" (_imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ) referenced in function main

    1. Qt_5_12_1_MSVC2017_64bit-Release throws:

    main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) void __cdecl NetLibrary::registerNetLibraryQML(void)" (_imp?registerNetLibraryQML@NetLibrary@@YAXXZ) referenced in function main


    Also, here is the dumpbin for netlib.lib on Qt_5_12_0_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug which links fine and works nice:

      Hi, the dumpbin for 5.12.1 is identical to 5.12.0. Seems netlib.lib is the innocent guy here. So it must be the client program, i.e. your main.cpp, perhaps some kind of visibility problem. We're running out of options so I'm thinking you could try renaming your library to something less generic/vanilla (there are many other libraries called netlib.xxx out there, perhaps one of them has snuck into in 5.12.1)

      So say instead of netlib you could call it m3gnetlib (prefixing with half of your username).
      That would mean changing the .pro file, the .h and .cpp files and also the #define from NETLIBSHARED_EXPORT to M3GNETLIBSHARED_EXPORT.

      I remember running into similar inexplicable issues in the past, and renaming the files helped (sometimes :-)

        In 5.12.1, default Windows library paths (e.g., Windows Kits) were added to the search path in qmake's makefile generator, but were added before the user-specified paths instead of after. There's already a commit to fix this and should be in 5.12.3. See this bugreport

          Thanks @mchinand!

          In Qt 5.12.1 @m3g1dd 's netlib.lib gets muscled out by the big wheels at Microsoft, when I do a dir of the Windows Kits on my C: indeed there's a netlib.lib there. And that's what the linker tries to link with.

          So either as I mentioned above go do that renaming, or wait for 5.12.3.

            Hi, Thanks! Problem got resolved by renaming the netlib library to netagentlib, and Qt 5.12.1 builds and runs the application without any issue.

            These are all my code changes to rename the library:

            On my netlib library project file i.e. netlib.pro file I changed:

            -TARGET = netlib
            +TARGET = netagentlib
            

            Also, on my application executable project *.pro file I replaced these lines:

            win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/release/ -lnetlib
            else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/debug/ -lnetlib
            else:unix: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/ -lnetlib
            

            with these lines:

            win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/release/ -lnetagentlib
            else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/debug/ -lnetagentlib
            else:unix: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../netlib/ -lnetagentlib
