I have finished installing libcurl, but it is still illegal to use the curl_easy_init function.

[Lee_Corl]

What is this?

[aha_1980]

You don't link to the lib.
Try LIBS += -lcurl in the .Pro file.

Edit: Fixed -l

[Lee_Corl]

@aha_1980 this is my .pro file

[jsulm]

@aha_1980 said in I have finished installing libcurl, but it is still illegal to use the curl_easy_init function.:

LIBS += -Lcurl

It's

LIBS += -lcurl

@Lee_Corl Are you on Windows or Linux?
If on Windows then please take a look at documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qmake-variable-reference.html#libs
Correct is (example):

win32:LIBS += "C:/mylibs/extra libs/extra.lib"

[aha_1980]

@jsulm Thanks, that was indeed wrong. Probably because it was too early :)

[Lee_Corl]

@jsulm Windows

[jsulm]

@Lee_Corl Then fix the LIBS like I wrote

[Lee_Corl]

@jsulm What is your intention? However, this is still illegal.

[jsulm]

@Lee_Corl Please read the link I gave you.
On Windows you link *.lib files like:

win32:LIBS += "C:/mylibs/extra libs/extra.lib"

And please post text, not pictures...

[Lee_Corl]

@jsulm sorry，My intentions are still lawless, and libcurl's functions are still working.

@Lee_Corl
If you had posted your original linking error as pasted text rather than screenshot this would all have been easier for us to see.
Your original screenshot shows ld being used as linker and complaining. That means you are using MinGW as your compiler/linker in your kit.
The curl library you are trying to link against is in a vc17 directory and ends in .lib. That means it has been compiled with MSVC.
You cannot mix MinGW and MSVC compiled code.
Either find or compile curl for MinGW, or change compiler of your Qt project to MSVC, or don't bother to use curl.

@JonB Finally, I chose Qt under Linux, which is convenient for Windows installation environment. Thank you
