Build issues in Qt4 with Poppler library

[A Former User]

Hello,

I got some compile errors while building Qt4 project with Poppler library.

Please have look at this,

C:\Qt\examples\testPoppler/mainwindow.cpp:15: undefined reference to _imp___ZN7Poppler8Document4loadERK7QStringRK10QByteArrayS6_' C:\Qt\examples\testPoppler/mainwindow.cpp:18: undefined reference to _imp___ZN7Poppler8DocumentD1Ev'
C:\Qt\examples\testPoppler/mainwindow.cpp:26: undefined reference to _imp___ZN7Poppler8Document13setRenderHintENS0_10RenderHintEb' C:\Qt\examples\testPoppler/mainwindow.cpp:27: undefined reference to _imp___ZNK7Poppler8Document8numPagesEv'
C:\Qt\examples\testPoppler/mainwindow.cpp:29: undefined reference to `_imp___ZN7Poppler8DocumentD1Ev'

How can i fix this problem.

Best Regards
Ansif

You need add the library path your profile. Please look at the following link
"here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.6/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html

This will help you. You can also add the library manually to profile

Hello,

Thank's for your comment.
Actually i have investigated about the above problem and i got so many links related to it.
One interesting link i got here is, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3858399/using-external-lib-dlls-in-qt-creator
Actually i was using the MingW version with gcc compiler and hence it will only compiles .a library. The above Poppler library contains a .lib file and it is being compiled by a Visual Studio compiler. I tried to compile the .lib file with gcc compiler and hence the problem occurs. Let me try this with Visual Studio compiler and may be it will fix the problem.

oh.. got it. If library is from visual studio, our qt also has to be built using visual studio.

Greetings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally i succeeded to build the Qt4-Poppler library in Mingw32 compiler.

I checked the usage of Poppler library in TexWork Project and it really helps me to solve my problem.
