      You don't link against QtCore.

          What should I explain here? If you want to use QtCore, you have to link against it. If you're using pro-files than this is done automatically. If you're using something else you have to do it on your own.

              Which process? What buildsystem do you use? What Qt version do you use, ... ? It would be really nice when you can provide the information without we need to ask every time - you're here long enough to know what we need.

                Sorry for that.
                Here are the details of the implementation:
                I am using Qt 5.14 and using the msvc-2017 compiler.
                Below are the snaps of the settings:

                General settings:
