I can't get gsl library dll's (or static for that matter) to work with Qt

ndt_mike

Wondering what I am doing wrong, I must admit.

I have tried a number of things but no luck. Right now I have this in the .pro file, but can't figure out why it's not locating the libgsl.dll file?


win32: LIBS += -L"D:\Qt\Projects\GSL_Test\gsl\bin" -llibgsl.dll

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../gsl/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../gsl/include

Here's the compiler output,

mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'D:/Qt/Projects/GSL_Test/build-GSL_Test-Desktop_Qt_5_5_0_MinGW_32bit-Debug'
g++ -Wl,-subsystem,console -mthreads -o debug\GSL_Test.exe debug/main.o  -LD:\Qt\Projects\GSL_Test\gsl\bin -llibgsl.dll -LD:/Qt/Projects/GSL_Test/GSL_Test/../gsl/bin/ -llibgslcblas.dll -LD:/Qt/5.5/mingw492_32/lib -lQt5Cored

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[1]: *** [debug\GSL_Test.exe] Error 1

Any idea's?

Has anybody gotten gsl to work with Qt in Windows?

Thanks really like the platform. Pretty sure I am using Qt 5.5.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You don't link to dlls but to lib files but you don't use the file extension.

So essentially:

LIBS += -lgsl -lgslcblas
