    I try to compile a project in qt creator and i get a very weired linker error:

    LINK : fatal error LNK1117: Syntax error in Option "".

    The full compile output

    I have no idea why this linker error shows up. What could i check?

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      What project is that ?
      Do you get the same error if you build a default created project ?

        it only happens in this project.

        I tryed to write a Qt Designer Plugin which uses open CV. I get the error when i try to compile the plugin application.

        My pro file looks like this:

        QT += widgets uiplugin
        CONFIG += plugin
        CONFIG += c++14
        TEMPLATE = lib
        DEFINES += FILTERPLUGINDESIGNER_LIBRARY
        
        TARGET = $$qtLibraryTarget($$TARGET)
        INSTALLS += target
        
        windows {
            target.path = $$(QTDIR)/../../Tools/QtCreator/bin/plugins/designer
        
            release:target_lib.files = $$OUT_PWD/release/$${TARGET}.lib
            debug:target_lib.files = $$OUT_PWD/debug/$${TARGET}.lib
            target_lib.path = $$(QTDIR)/../../Tools/QtCreator/bin/plugins/designer
            INSTALLS += target_librelease
        
            INCLUDEPATH += $$(OPENCV_HOME)/../../include
            LIBS += -L$$(OPENCV_HOME)/lib \
                -lopencv_world410
        }
        

        I added to Build Environment the opencv library (I compiled it with MSVC 2017 32 bit):

        Set OPENCV_HOME to E:\Cpp_Projekte_library\OpenCV\opencv\build\x86\vc15
        Set Path to E:\Cpp_Projekte_library\OpenCV\opencv\build\x86\vc15\bin;

        The Kit I use is Desktop QT 5.12.2 MSVC2017 32bit.

            yes that one but i used the latest version opencv-4.1.0-vc14_vc15.

            Since it only came with x64lib i builded the x86 lib myself with cmake but it looks like it wont link and give the error when i try to build the filter plugin designer

              Hi
              Why not try small project linking to that OpenCV DLL to see if its the reason?
              You seem to do it right and used the same compiler for app/plugin and openCV so
              the usual suspects seem ruled out.

                i linked opencv in a minimal project and also run it with Qt_5_12_2_MSVC2017_32bit in debug it run with no problems.

                i used this test

                #include "MainWindow.h"
                #include "ui_MainWindow.h"
                
                #include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
                #include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
                
                MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
                    QMainWindow(parent),
                    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
                {
                    ui->setupUi(this);
                
                    // read an image
                    cv::Mat image = cv::imread("E://1.jpg", 1);
                    // create image window named "My Image"
                    cv::namedWindow("My Image");
                    // show the image on window
                    cv::imshow("My Image", image);
                }
                
                MainWindow::~MainWindow()
                {
                    delete ui;
                }
                
                QT       += core gui
                
                greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
                
                TARGET = untitled
                TEMPLATE = app
                
                CONFIG += c++11
                
                INCLUDEPATH += E:\Cpp_Projekte\_library\OpenCV\opencv\build\include
                LIBS += -LE:/Cpp_Projekte/_library/OpenCV/opencv/build/x86/vc15/lib \ -lopencv_world410
                
                SOURCES += \
                        main.cpp \
                        MainWindow.cpp
                
                HEADERS += \
                        MainWindow.h
                
                FORMS += \
                        MainWindow.ui
                

                However when it try to run it in release it get this error:

                23:49:17: Running steps for project untitled...

                The error i get is (Sorry for the german i think the message comes from my os):

                :-1: error: LNK1181: Eingabedatei "\.obj" kann nicht geöffnet werden.
                
                (It says Input file .\obj cannot be opened)
                
                
                

                I have the feeling we shoukd solve this issue and solve with it the other one....

                  Hi
                  Im pretty sure its somehow related.
                  the line
                  LIBS += -LE:/Cpp_Projekte/_library/OpenCV/opencv/build/x86/vc15/lib \ -lopencv_world410
                  i wonder if the \ is out of place when in one line ?

                    that solved the issue now i can run the simple example in debug and release.

                    However the real application still throws the strange error:

                    i changed the pro file to:

                    INCLUDEPATH += $$(OPENCV_HOME)/../../include
                    LIBS += -L$$(OPENCV_HOME)/lib -lopencv_world410
                    

                    however i also tryed out to add the absolute path like in the simple example but no changes

                      Hi
                      just for test.
                      Could you please use the exact same way as in mini sample?

                      INCLUDEPATH += E:\Cpp_Projekte_library\OpenCV\opencv\build\include
                      LIBS += -LE:/Cpp_Projekte/_library/OpenCV/opencv/build/x86/vc15/lib -lopencv_world410

                      just to rule out it has anything to do with $$(OPENCV_HOME)

                          @sandro4912 Please make sure there are no outdated Makefiles in your source or build folder.

                          Then I'd close Creator, delete the build folder and the .pro.user and then open the project again to start from a clean state.

                          Regards

                          Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                            @sandro4912 said in LNK1117 Syntac Error in Option "". in QTCreator:

                            fatal error LNK1117

                            Seems to be slightly known

                            Do you use Creator or the visual STudio Editor ?

                              I use the Creator.

                              I made the project new from scratch. Now it compiles and seems to create the plugin.dll

                              I assume it was maybe really some old files in the build folder.

                              However now i have annother problem. It looks like the form editor does not want to load the plug in correctly.

                              0_1556698732124_plugiinerror.jpg

                              Any ideas what could cause this?

                                Hi
                                Well make sure the plugin can find the openVC dlls.
                                Also that is in release mode,
                                and check you about Creator dialog
                                that compiler and Qt version used matches.

                                  Im using Qt Creator Based on Qt 5.12.2 (MSVC 2017, 32 bit)
                                  I compiled the opencv binaries with Visual Studio 2017 x86
                                  I used the Kit Desktop_Qt_5_12_2_MSVC2017_32bit-Release

                                  It should be compiled in release mode right?

                                  From my understanding this shouldn't be a mismatch.

                                    yes seems to be exactly the same. Qt / compiler wise.
                                    Well, then it must be something with openCV dlls it cant find.
                                    try to place the needed dlls next to the plugin.

                                      what do you mean with putting them next to the plugin?

                                      At the moment i get them from this folder:

                                      0_1556702609343_dlls.jpg

                                      Also i compiled opencv the static lib and not the dll could that be an issue?

                                        Hi
                                        well ifs its static it is part of the plugin so
                                        it cant be that.

                                        I assume openCV is happy to be static. ?

                                          Yes i assume so. After all i used these libs in the short test application to test if opencv works. There everything seemed to work.

                                          I used cmake to setup the opencv for compilation. is there maybe something set which doesn't go well with qt plugin?
