Building application with Intel IPP - Unresolved external symbol

[BigPrimate]

Hello-

I am trying to write a very simple 'Hello World' C++ program that makes use of IPP. I am developing on Windows using Qt's Creator IDE. All my program does for now is call ippInit. The code is below:

@#include <QCoreApplication>
#include "ippcore.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

ippInit();

return a.exec();

}@

My project file (.pro) file is also very simple, see below. BTW, we happen to store our IPP libraries in a 'third party' directory for historical reasons. Note that I am not making use of any of the path variables defined when you run Intel's install script. But I'm assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that not having those defines is not what is killing me.

@#-------------------------------------------------

QT += core
QT -= gui

IntelIPPlibs = -lippac -lippcc -lippch -lippcv -lippdc -lippdi -lippi -lippj -lippm -lippr -lipps -lippsc -lippvc -lippvm -lippcore

Set the intel path based upon the platform.

ThirdPartyLibraryPath = ../../../../thirdparty
win32: IntelIPPPath = $${ThirdPartyLibraryPath}/Intel/Windows/ipp
linux: IntelIPPPath = $${ThirdPartyLibraryPath}/Intel/Linux/ipp

win32 {
DEFINES += WINNT
LIBS += -L$$IntelIPPPath/lib/intel64 $$IntelIPPlibs
}

unix {
DEFINES += LINUX
LIBS += -L$$IntelIPPPath/lib/intel64 $$IntelIPPlibs
}

INCLUDEPATH += $${IntelIPPPath}/include

TARGET = HelloIPP
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle

TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp@

When I attempt to build, I get the following error:

main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ippInit referenced in function main debug\HelloIPP.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I am using the MSVS 2012 64 bit compiler. I suspect the problem MIGHT have to do with how the MSVC compiler is mangling the function names, but I see in ipp.h that it makes use of the "extern "C"" so that does not seem to be the problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Driving me crazy for the past six hours...

Regards,

Jim

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you sure you are linking to the library containing that symbol ?
