QLedMatrix Sample Program

qt52

Hello Everyone,

I would like to try this QLedMatrix sample code ( http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php?action=content&content=101193 ) but when i compile it, it show 2 error message as bellow:
cannot find -lqledmatrix
collect2: ld return 1 exit status

In the .pro file last line show
LIBS +- -lqledmatrix
I think qledmatrix library is missing. May i know this library is .dll format? In QLedMatrix-0.6 folder i can't find any .dll file. Is it we have to use the sample code to generate the library?

Please kindly advice..Thanks..

You have to build the library to generate the dll
I tried in past that project and its simply the way to clear LCD effect (create a grid in front of the string) but have some limitation.

After i compile, it generate a lot of warning and one error ( definition of static data member 'QLedMatrix::staticMetaObjectExtraData' of dllimport'd class).

Have you across this error message?
