[Solved] Cannot link libs statically
-
There's 17 errors, one for each of the OpenCV libaries that I try to link. They're all the same except for the name of the lib. Here's just the first one:
C:/Qt/Tools/mingw491_32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.1/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lopencv_calib3d300
-
Did you check the compiler output panel to see what you have as -L parameters ?
-
Sorry for the slow reply! It was a busy week for school.
This is what my compiler output says right before I get the errors, I'm not too sure what you mean by the -L parameters, is this it?

-L is used to give the linker additional folders to search for libraries. It seems that you didn't add the folder where the OpenCV libraries are located.
-
Where is opencv_calib3d300.lib located on your computer ?
-
They're all in C:\Programs\opencvMinGW\install\x64\mingw\bin, which was made with CMake.
Perhaps I'm using the wrong types of libraries? All of the openCV files in that folder have a format like "libopencv_calib3d300.dll", for instance. Maybe I'm not supposed to be using .dll files? It works fine with my other kit though.
-
You don't link to dlls you link to lib files, where are these located ?
-
Not so fast ! Since you have dlls you probably have a second set of these in another folder. On Windows, the static libraries and the import libraries have the same extension...
-
I just realized: C:\Programs\opencv\build\x86\vc12\staticlib
That means that these libs are for Visual Studio not MinGWUnless you built OpenCV yourself, just grab the archive again
-
Sorry, I don't quite understand. After I re-downloaded the package for opencv 3.0, I only had files with a .lib extension in the staticlib folder, which you already said not to use, and in C:\Programs\opencv\build\x86\vc12\lib, which only has opencv_ts300 and opencv_world300 (I don't know how to use these). I can't seem to find any other .lib files.
-
Then where did you get the dlls from ?
-
The dlls were created with cmake, but I couldn't find the regular libraries from the cmake-generated folders. Do I have to rebuild opencv with cmake? I was using the cmake-gui and there were a lot of different options that I could check or uncheck. Maybe some of them will build the regular libraries?
-
If the dlls were created with cmake then you already built it by hand so you should have the corresponding lib files somewhere
-
I rebuilt opencv, this time with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = Off, which made .a files.
I read that .a files are the same as .lib files.
My .pro file now looks like this:INCLUDEPATH += C:\\Programs\\opencvMinGW5\\install\\include LIBS += -LC:\\Programs\\opencvMinGW5\\install\\x64\\mingw\\staticlib \ -lopencv_core300 \ -lopencv_highgui300 \ -lopencv_imgcodecs300 \ -lopencv_imgproc300 \ -lzlib \ -lIlmImfI have a few compilation errors, and I wasn't able to google them, do you know what they mean?

I think I might be missing some static libs or maybe the order I'm listing the libs is wrong.

There's something not clear, I see MinGW5 in your OpenCV path and Qt uses 4.9.1, which one did you use to build OpenCV ?
