Compile with Visual Studio in Qt


  • Hi guys

    I wonder something that compile with msvc.

    First, you have to know I don't have an experience that and many things.
    I'm a junior developer. ^^;;;

    I'm trying to build a project about OPC with OPC SDK made by Unified Automation.
    However, there are many build error...T_T

    under is the .pro file
    Qt Creator 2.4.1
    Qt 4.8.1

    QT += core

    QT -= gui

    TARGET = OPC_UA_ConsoleApp
    CONFIG += console

    HEADERS +=
    sampleclient.h

    SOURCES += main.cpp
    sampleclient.cpp

    There are many error messages has "undefined reference to "class::method"
    and collect2: Id returned 1 exit status

    So, I watched the Compile Output but I cannot find a key point or something.

    anyway I saw some article in Google. He said about qmake, cmake, msvc, mingw... I don't know

    what I need to complie that with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 10.0 ??

    Please tell me your know-how.

    Thanks.

    "undefined reference" means that either a library is missing or a cpp file is not built. You need to check what exactly is undefined and then check where it is (in which library or cpp file).
    You can post the errors here. And please post the compiler/linker call so we can see how it is called.

    @Hyo. You're building with MinGW not VS!
    C:/Users/SHLEE/Documents/OPC_UA_ConsoleApp' g++ -c -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall -DUNICODE -DQT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT -D_UA_STACK_USE_DLL -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -DQT_DLL -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_HAVE_MMX -DQT_HAVE_3DNOW -DQT_HAVE_SSE -DQT_HAVE_MMXEXT -DQT_HAVE_SSE2 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I"........\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\include\QtCore"

    You cannot use libraries build with Visual C++ compiler with MinGW compiler! Use Visual C++ compiler.

    Your libraries are build with vs2012.
    That means you need VS2012 and Qt for VS2012.

    Hi,

    To add to @jsulm, you have some other incoherences, you state that you are using Qt 4.8.1 but you seem to have installed 4.7.4 and your project tries to use the msvc-2008 mkspec…

    As suggested by @jsulm, first cleanup your installation and use Qt's latest available versions. Either 4.8.7 if you're locked to Qt 4 or better Qt 5.6.1/5.7.0.

    And also, you can't mix and match version of Visual Studio either i.e. you can't use MSVC2012 built libraries with another version of Visual Studio.

  • Thanks guys

    I remember that some project to test the SDK in Visual Studio 2015, but I Changed the option Visual Studio 2012 (v110)
    you guys genius?? how could you know it just that infomation

    however... I have 4.8.1 correctly. Just I missed the switch 4.7.4 or 4.8.1
    그리고 MSVC2008은 2012도 해보고 이것저것 해보다가 그냥 2008인 채로 글 올린거니까 이해해줭
    It's too difficult in english... sorry ^^;;;;

    So...
    I have Visual Studio 2015, 2012, 2010.
    And I must use Qt4.8.1... maybe after 1 year I can change the version, can't now.
    Can't compile with msvc2012 in Qt4.8.1 ?? T_T

    Please don't say NO
    You are a genius !!!!!

    @Hyo. You need Qt 4.8.1 for msvc2012

  • @Hyo.

    You can compile Qt 4.8.1 with msvc 21012. These two links will help you to do this.
