    Given this open-source library using Qt components: https://github.com/simulton/qschematic

    I am able to compile a DLL named libqschematicd.dll which I then link against in another Qt5 project (cmake based). However, during linking I am presented with errors like this:

    Anything starting with the QSchematic:: namespace are components provided by the QSchematic library which are exported into the DLL.

    From what I can tell there are mainly two types of undefined references reported:

    • Qt internal stuff like QSchematic::Node::qt_metacast(char const*)
    • Signals provided by the library's components such as QSchematic::Item::posChanged()

    What needs to happen to make linking against this QSchematic library in a shared version work? Namely:

    • Why are the various qt_metacast() functions missing?
    • Why are the signals missing?

    I'd be thankful for any kind of information that would help me moving forward here.

    Disclaimer: I am the author of that library.

      It looks like you added the sources from the qschematic lib to your own library/app which is wrong.

        I think you're onto something here - I just found this in my application (which consumes the QSchematic lib) cmake script:

        target_include_directories(
  ${TARGET}
  PRIVATE
    ${qschematic_SOURCE_DIR}   # This needs fixing in the QSchematic library. This should not be necessary
)

        :-D

        I'll investigate and report back!

          @Christian-Ehrlicher I've fixed the include directories issue in the QSchematic library and removed the manual inclusion of the include dir in my application (the snipped posted above).

          However, the issue remains:

mingw32-make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

          As I understand now properly (thanks to your hint) the QSchematic shared library is compiled by my app/plugin as I pull it in via cmake's FetchContent(). The error is actually originating from compiling the libqschematicd.dll - not my app/plugin.

          I include the QSchematic library in my application/plugin using cmake's FetchContent():

          # Fetch QSchematic library
FetchContent_Declare(
    qschematic
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/simulton/qschematic
    GIT_TAG        master
)
FetchContent_GetProperties(qschematic)
if(NOT qschematic_POPULATED)
    FetchContent_Populate(qschematic)
    set(QSCHEMATIC_BUILD_DEMO OFF CACHE INTERNAL "")
    set(QSCHEMATIC_DEPENDENCY_GPDS_DOWNLOAD OFF CACHE INTERNAL "")
    set(QSCHEMATIC_DEPENDENCY_GPDS_TARGET "gpds-shared" CACHE INTERNAL "")
    add_subdirectory(${qschematic_SOURCE_DIR} ${qschematic_BINARY_DIR})
endif()

# Link to app/plugin
target_link_libraries(
    my_app_or_plugin
    PRIVATE
        qschematic-shared
)

          However, compiling libqschematicd.dll directly from the QSchematic cmake script works well - what am I missing here?

            All of my work on Windows has been done with MSVC and not mingw, so I might be way off base... but it seems worth asking...

            In the mingw environment, do windows DLL(s) still need to worry about dllexport?

            (link to MSDN content regarding dllexport)

            If so, then you need a special header for every library, like so:

            #ifndef MYHEADER_GUARD_H
#define MYHEADER_GUARD_H

#include <QtCore/qglobal.h>

//  be sure to REPLACE "LIBSTYLES" with YOUR library name
#if defined( LIBSTYLES_LIBRARY )
#    define LIBSTYLES_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT
#else
#    define LIBSTYLES_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT
#endif

#endif // MYHEADER_GUARD_H

            Then you have to annotate your classes, and also be sure to configure the preprocessor definition when you build QSchematic.

            Actually... looking at your GitHub repo, I see that you added the QSCHEMATIC_EXPORT yesterday. I'm digging through to see if maybe you missed a spot....

              I see in your commit 830adbe97f07 that you added lines like #include "qschematic_export.h" but you did not commit a file named qschematic_export.h? Does CMake generate it somehow? (I use qmake on most things and have minimal CMake fluency.)

              Anyhow, I will make a general statement about similar linker errors I have encountered in the past:

              • If the symbols are missing (a.k.a. undefined) when you compile the library that should contain those very symbols, then one possibility is that your preprocessor IMPORT_EXPORT macro is getting set as dllimport during that build when it should be set to dllexport
              • If the symbols are missing when compiling other "user code" that depends on the library with the symbols, then (at a minimum) two possibilities exist: (a) the depended-upon library failed to tag its classes/functions with either dllimport or dllexport (meaning you failed to tag them at all when compiling that DLL), or (b) the preprocessor and header situation is such that dllexport is being applied even by this dependent "user code", whereas in this case it needs to be dllimport-ing the symbols from the depended-upon library.

                The difference between what I have shown in this post and that minimal application is that I'm building a DLL which gets loaded into a Qt application (not a Qt plugin - just a regular home-grown plugin that gets loaded into a Qt application using QPluginLoader).

                  Only if you don't export anything does mingw default to the *nix behaviour of exporting all the symbols. So either export all (which is what I recommend), or don't export anything.

                      As @Christian-Ehrlicher mentioned this gets generated by cmake's generate_export_header() function during the configuration stage.

                      Your statement sounds like you'd have some wisdom/experience to share on this topic... ;-)

                        Your cmake is wrong:

                        add_library(${TARGET_SHARED} SHARED)
target_compile_definitions(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PRIVATE
        qschematic_shared_EXPORTS   # We are building this library!
)
target_link_libraries(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PUBLIC
        qschematic-objs
)
-->
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
add_library(${TARGET_SHARED} SHARED ${SOURCES_PRIVATE})
target_link_libraries(${TARGET_SHARED}
PUBLIC
        Qt5::Core
        Qt5::Gui
        Qt5::Widgets
        ${QSCHEMATIC_DEPENDENCY_GPDS_TARGET}
)
target_include_directories(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PUBLIC
        $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}> # For qschematic_export.h
        $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/..>
        $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:..>
)

                        You can not simply add the same compiled object files for your static and dynamic lib since the sources for the dynamic lib need to be compiled with qschematic_shared_EXPORTS.
                        You also do not need to define qschematic_shared_EXPORTS by your own - cmake defines it for you.

                          As @Christian-Ehrlicher mentioned this gets generated by cmake's generate_export_header() function during the configuration stage.

                          Your statement sounds like you'd have some wisdom/experience to share on this topic... ;-)

                            Your cmake is wrong:

                            add_library(${TARGET_SHARED} SHARED)
target_compile_definitions(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PRIVATE
        qschematic_shared_EXPORTS   # We are building this library!
)
target_link_libraries(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PUBLIC
        qschematic-objs
)
-->
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
add_library(${TARGET_SHARED} SHARED ${SOURCES_PRIVATE})
target_link_libraries(${TARGET_SHARED}
PUBLIC
        Qt5::Core
        Qt5::Gui
        Qt5::Widgets
        ${QSCHEMATIC_DEPENDENCY_GPDS_TARGET}
)
target_include_directories(
    ${TARGET_SHARED}
    PUBLIC
        $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}> # For qschematic_export.h
        $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/..>
        $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:..>
)

                            You can not simply add the same compiled object files for your static and dynamic lib since the sources for the dynamic lib need to be compiled with qschematic_shared_EXPORTS.
                            You also do not need to define qschematic_shared_EXPORTS by your own - cmake defines it for you.

                            btw: when you want your source to be portable avoid g++ extensions like binary literals (and, or not instead && - it took me ages to change all the places so it can be compiled with msvc.

                            I see - that makes sense. I'm gonna change that!

                            As far as I can tell the and, or, not and similar keywords are actually part of the C++ standard. It's just that MSVC doesn't have support for them enabled by default - am I wrong here?

                            I'd appreciate any kind of patch you want to submit tho. Making this library as portable as possible is certainly something I'd like to achieve. So far I've used it only with GCC and Clang.

                              Yes (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ciso646/), but MSVC doesn't like them and it's not widely used. Also I find it very hard to read, esp. when you mix both versions in one line as you did :)
                              I can provide a patch for it if you want.

                              I think all should compile then correctly. Tested it with your demo application.

                                It is, but you should drop it, I don't want to butt heads with Christian again, I'm too old and frail for that.

                                  @Christian-Ehrlicher I have fixed the cmake as per you guidance: No longer building the static and shared libraries from the object library but instead creating them separately. I created a function to setup the stuff common to all targets. Now I can successfully build my Qt5 app/plugin :)
                                  Here's the change I made: https://github.com/simulton/QSchematic/commit/98af6cc914b3340be7f36e9c3a4c7f7057093f97
                                  Now I just have to do that for the GPDS dependency as well.

                                  I fully agree regarding consistency. This library started off as a hobby project of mine many years ago with a lot less C++ experience on my side. I am currently in the progress of cleaning everything up - hence also this entire fuzz.
                                  As usual: I am very open towards feedback & criticism - My only goal is to make this library become a ready-to-use solution for whoever sees fit in using it.
