[SOLVED] Linker Error While linking application(form of DLL) with Qt libs
-
Hi All,
I am new to Qt(and to this group) and I am currently trying to link my software component libs(propreitary) with Qt Libs to form a DLL which will further be used by my application.In doing so I am facing linker issues. I did check if the symbols are present in the libs and Yes they are present in Libs, but still its unable to link.
I am currently using Qt 4.8.4 on Windows using Visual Studio command prompt.
The linker command on make is as follows.COMMAND:
" link c:/my_sw_component/my_sw_components.obj c:/my_sw_component/my_sw_component.lib e:/platform/platform.lib c:/my_sw_component/platform.res

Please provide me any inputs on how to resolve this error.
Thanks in advance for help.

Finally found the solution to this problem.
It was because I compiled my application using wrong compiler defines
QT_NODLL and QT_MAKEDLL.Instead it had to be compiled with QT_DLL and QT_SHARED.(for proper dllexport and dllimport configurations refer qglobal.h to decide which compiler defines to use).
