Spdlog library can't open in the Qt.

Enes Alp

I added spdlog.lib and fmt.lib to .pro file . And I also compiled the program but it's crashed.
How can I solve the problem?

The problem is in the spdlog::info function line

Have you tried the header-only approach?

KroMignon

@Enes-Alp said in Spdlog library can't open in the Qt.:

Did you try to start it in debug mode with Qt Creator?
I guess the connect() statement is what will stop your application.

QObject::connect(
&engine, &QQmlApplicationEngine::objectCreated, &app,
[url](QObject *obj, const QUrl &objUrl) {
if (!obj && url == objUrl)
QCoreApplication::exit(-1);
},
Qt::QueuedConnection);

Why do you check url? The interesting parameter is obj. When obj is null, the instance could not be created.

Enes Alp

yes I tried the debug and release mode? Also I'm using msvc2019-64bit but when I changed the mingw, I get some linker error.
URL require for qml side.

If you change Qt Kit from MSVC2019-64bit to mingw, you also have to use a compatible spdlog and fmt build version.

I guess the problem is in the QML code / import path.
Try to set the environment variable QML_IMPORT_TRACE to got QML traces.
You can do it in code, like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
#if QT_VERSION < QT_VERSION_CHECK(6, 0, 0)
  QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
#endif

  qputenv("QML_IMPORT_TRACE", "1");
  QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

  QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
  engine.addImportPath("qrc:/");
  const QUrl url(QStringLiteral("qrc:/views/MasterView.qml"));
  engine.load(url);

  return app.exec();
}

Enes Alp

The problem is with spd functions.
When I added the below code, I get a crash.

spdlog::info("....");

How did you build spdlog library?
Did you use same compiler (MSVC2019-64bit)?

Enes Alp

I installed with vcpkg like this ./vcpkg.exe install spdlog:x64-windows. I didn't compile because the spdlog has static compilation files(spdlog.lib, fmt.lib). I added just include and .lib files.

##- spdlog installed by default c:/dev/vcpkg
SPDLOG_ROOT = c:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows
exists($$SPDLOG_ROOT) {
    LIBS        += -L$$SPDLOG_ROOT/lib -lspdlog -lfmt

    INCLUDEPATH += $$SPDLOG_ROOT/include
    DEPENDPATH += $$SPDLOG_ROOT/include

    DESTDIR_WIN = $$replace(DESTDIR, "/", "\\")
    SPDLOG_ROOT_WIN = $$replace(SPDLOG_ROOT, "/", "\\")
}

Hi,

Are you sure that these libs are static ? A .lib file can either be a static library or import library that will require the use of a dll at run time.

Enes Alp

I don't have any dll file in the lib folder.

SGaist

Then start your application through the debugger to get a stack trace of the crash.

The spdlog library is either header-only or static.

Enes Alp

@SGaist
The problem is in the spdlog::info function line. When I delete this line, I don't get errors.

SGaist

Do you have it working if you copy the code of the examples in the library documentation (without any Qt stuff) ?

Enes Alp

Yes, I tried but I get the same result.

#include <spdlog/spdlog.h>

int main() {

  spdlog::info("Welcome to spdlog");

  return 0;
}

But you don't have change anything, so the result will still be the same.
Header only approach means you add each spdlog header file in INCLUDES and remove spdlog from LIBS.

Enes Alp

@KroMignon

The Header-only approach is working but how can I add a static link?

INCLUDEPATH += C:/Users/enesa/Documents/Test-Qt-Cpp/include/spdlog/include

SGaist

The concept of header only librairies is that you do not have anything to link.

Enes Alp

@SGaist

In the doc, the static lib version is much faster in compile time.
What is the meaning of this, you know?

SGaist

The header only library means that you do not have to link anything but this means that you will build everything you use from it on each build.
