A proper way to link libEGL.lib

Dmitriano

I have an app that links libEGL.lib and libGLESv2.lib in .pro file as follows (for working with raw OpenGLES 2.0 calls on Win32 and UWP platforms):

win32 {
    debug {
        LIBS += libEGLd.lib libGLESv2d.lib
    }
    release {
        LIBS += libEGL.lib libGLESv2.lib
    }
}

as far as I remember, previously libEGL.lib linked successfully, but with QT 5.13 there is the following error:

link /NOLOGO /DYNAMICBASE /NXCOMPAT /NODEFAULTLIB:ole32.lib /APPCONTAINER /MACHINE:X64 /NODEFAULTLIB:kernel32.lib /DEBUG /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFEST:NO /OUT:debug\MyApp.exe @C:\Users\D-Ef\AppData\Local\Temp\MyApp.exe.12740.170688.jom
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libEGLd.lib'

what is the proper way to fix this?

Search for the lib on your system and pass this path to the linker so it can be found during link time.

@christian-ehrlicher

the libs are in C:\Qt\Qt5.13.0\5.13.0\msvc2017_64\lib folder, but the linker cannot find them.

So did you try to pass that path to the linker? Please show us your pro-file
