Building Qt 5.9.5 on Windows with -qt-sqlite generates invalid dll (LNK1107: qsqlited.dll invalid)
-
I compiled Qt 5.9.5 from source on Windows with msvc2019, using the following configure command:
configure -prefix C:\Tools\DEV\Qt\5.9.5-debug -qt-sqlite -platform win32-msvc -debug -skip qtwebengineI found the -qt-sqlite option on this page.
I compile with jom then install with jom install.
I then create a sample project with this CMakeLists.txt linked against this Qt library:
project(test-plugin) cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14) list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${Qt5_DIR}") find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Sql REQUIRED) add_executable(test main.cpp) target_link_libraries(test PRIVATE Qt5::QSQLiteDriverPlugin)Building
mkdir build && cd build && cmake . . -DQt5_DIR=C:/Tools/DEV/Qt/5.9.5-debug && cmake --build . --config DebugOutput:

One weird thing I found is that in the install directory there is no trace of a qsqlited.lib file, but there is one in the Qt compile directory (C:\Tools\DEV\Qt\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.9.5-debug\qtbase\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlited.lib). Aren't DLL on windows required to have an associated .lib for compilation?
-
You can not mix debug and release libs and you should not deploy debug executables and libraries.
Therefore you have to use qsqlite.dll. -
The Qt sqlite plugin is (as the name says) a plugin and therefore you can't link against it - it's loaded at runtime.
-
Thanks, I see the problem. But isn't it a problem that adding this plugin as a cmake dependency to a target generates this error? Shouldn't it cleanly link with .lib describing the .dll and then load the dll at runtime?

No, because then it would be loaded when your app is loaded, not at runtime. Plug-ins are only loaded when needed.
-
Thanks, so from what I understand I have to use QPluginLoader to load it at runtime.
I don't understand what the cmake target is there for though. Is there a way to leverage the cmake target to make it install the DLL? Currently I call windeployqt, but I'm not sure it can detect this can of dependencies.

Why? Simply use QSqlDatabase and you're fine...

Because someone might need it
Currently I call windeployqt, but I'm not sure it can detect this can of dependencies.
It simply copies all plugins of a given type when you use e.g. QtSql
-
So I tried using QSqlDatabase + windeployqt. Here is my code:
#include <QSqlDatabase> #include <QCoreApplication> int main(int argc, char**argv) { QCoreApplication app(argc, argv); QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE"); db.setDatabaseName(":memory:"); }I compile it and call windeployqt on the executable, which adds Qt5Cored.dll, Qt5Sql.dll and a translation directory.
When I run the executable I get:QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers:I tried copying the file qsqlited.dll next to the exe but this doesn't change anything.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: when I put it in plugins/sqldrivers it works. But why does windeployqt does not do that for me?

It must be in the plugins folder as explained in the documentation.
Does windeployqt use the correct Qt path where the sqlite plugin is under <QTDIR>/plugins/sqldrivers?
-
When I manually copy the plugins/sqldrivers dir next to the exe, there is no more error of no drivers available. Now I just want windeployqt to do that for me.
My Qt install does have a QT_DIR/plugins/sqldrivers dir, and when I call windeployqt I make sure to set the front of %PATH% to QT_DIR/bin, as stated in the help. But still windeployqt does not deploy it.

It works when I put it in the plugins folder directly.
What do you mean?
-
windeployqt has two options which you should check -
--verboseand--plugindir -
Thanks. I added the --debug option also. But here is the output (my path points to a QT_DIR/bin install which contains ONLY debug qt):

The command stops there, nothing gets copied at all next to my executable. Why is that? Because of my --debug option? Without --debug windeployqt tries to copy the release version of qsqlite.dll, which doesn't exist. But with --debug it tries to copy a Qt5Coredd.dll which doesn't exist either.

You can not mix debug and release libs and you should not deploy debug executables and libraries.
Therefore you have to use qsqlite.dll.
