error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

Hi
i got this error while i run OPENCV code "(display image using OPENCV)" in qtcreator.

opencv_highgui310d.lib(window_w32.obj):-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_BitBlt referenced in function "__int64 cdecl HighGUIProc(struct HWND *,unsigned int,unsigned __int64,int64)" (?HighGUIProc@@YA_JPEAUHWND@@I_K_J@Z)

Hello,
Have you installed the windows SDK and linked the appropriate system libraries? If not, then do so.

PS.
This isn't a Qt question by the way.

Edit:
Please, don't post the same question in multiple subforums.

[Faisal_Ali]

yes i install window sdk and linked opencv libraries file

[kshegunov]

Please provide the linker invocation (the link line) from the QtCreator compile output tab.
BitBlt is a WinAPI function and I suspect you're linking statically without actually linking the windows system libraries.

Here is compile output :

@Faisal_Ali This is not the complete output. And @kshegunov wanted to see how the linker was called. Just post the complete output.

This still isn't the complete output! The link line is still missing. From what I can tell by the errors you have a dependency (a library) you haven't met, but what it is I don't know. You must link all OpenCV dependencies to the application to be able to link statically.

Please use the forum search, there are already quite a number of threads about OpenCV, eg. https://forum.qt.io/topic/73289.
