:-1: error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'

BrEaDFace

I seem to get that error always no matter what I do. I'm trying to run some examples. I tried reinstalling everything and tried to search everywhere from this forum or internet but cant find a solution.
I'm using windows vista with Qt Creator 2.0.1.

This is the compile output for borderlayout example:

Could any1 tell me how to fix this or help me with teamviewer? :/
Thank you.

Could you give some more information? Is this error there even in an empty project?

In an empty project theres the following:
:-1: warning: LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used

Sorry im not really good in Qt :/

Is "msvc2008" the only folder in c:\qtsdk\desktop\qt\4.7.3?
I have "c:\qtsdk\desktop\qt\4.7.3\mingw" and it is used.

Which version of the SDK do you have? Why don't you install a newer version of QtCreator ( "the latest QtCreator beta is here":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/prereleases or "the latest stable version 2.1":http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-creator-binary-for-windows ).

/offtopic I'm new to Qt too ... and I'm not sure that I could help but I will try :)

bq. Is “msvc2008” the only folder in c:\qtsdk\desktop\qt\4.7.3?
I have “c:\qtsdk\desktop\qt\4.7.3\mingw” and it is used.

There is no other folders in 4.7.3 than msvc2008

I tried to download the latest again but still same error :(

yshurik

Maybe you haven't installed vs2008?
Other case that you have installed vs2008ee, but not installed ms platform sdk.

Umagad i need vs 2008? i had qt on my previus comp and i didnt need vs 2008. is there anyway i wouldnt have to use vs2008?

secretNinja

Yes...you don't need Visual Studio. But you need to have at least MinGW ( maybe there're other options but I'm not aware of them).

Here is my setup:
!http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3027/mingw.png(MinGW)!

If you install it, you could compile your code with it...hopefully this error will be gone :)

BrEaDFace

it works thx for all the efforts ninjaman. ur the coolest guy i ever met. i guess i had some problems with mingw

secretNinja

This was the coolest comment I've ever read ... thank you!

Hope to see you here more often :)
