<![CDATA[Error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol with Phonon]]>Hi,

I tried integrating phonon music player with an existing application which compiles well before the integration. I'm using VS 2010 and Qt 4.8.2 VS-addin. The error below occurred after integrating phonon music player and I have searched online but can't find any solution to this problem.

I came across the link below which mentioned "Qt Project Settings" but the problem with this is, my "Qt Project Settings" is not selectable in current project. Its only selectable if there is .pro file but my project don't have a .pro file
"Your text to link here...":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/14771

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have any makefile next to CMake or in build directory? Is in this makefile information about phonon?

If the cmake setting is suffient, how do I solve this problem then?

So, I can suggest you where problem can be located. Anyway, if you have phonon there it is OK.

@
#specify place -L<place> and name of library -l<name> to link our code against
LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lphonon
@

and there is also specification of include path, but this you have correct as the compilation finish with success.
@
INCPATH = -I/usr/include/phonon
@

In your case you should look for libraries in place where you have install Qt. Do you have there phonon DLL?

Thanks for your reply. I'm new to Qt and the project have Cmakefile and it does contain a line with phonon as follow:

@set( QT_LIBS QtCore QtGui QtNetwork QtSvg QtWebKit QtXml QtXmlPatterns phonon )@

Please, can you elaborate on what you mean by LIBDIRS and LIBS.

Thanks

Then if you do not use .pro file, you should have Makefile which is used during build process. Probably in LIBDIRS and LIBS you are missing path and library of Phonon.
