undefined reference to `_imp__PathRemoveFileSpecW@4'

Bushstar

The error I'm having trying to compile a Qt 4.8.6 GUI program on Windows is...

undefined reference to `_imp__PathRemoveFileSpecW@4'

This should be resolved by adding lshlwapi, however that already defined at the link below.

https://github.com/kryptkoin/KryptKoin/blob/master/kryptkoin-qt.pro#L383

I've been tinkering with the pro file with no luck. I'm running qmake with the above linked pro file as follows.

qmake "USE_QRCODE=1" "USE_UPNP=1" "USE_IPV6=1" kryptkoin-qt.pro

When checking the command line I cannot see lshlwapi in there.

This is the following error.

I downloaded and built the Qt 4.8.6 as follows.

Any help would be appreciated, I've spent hours on this and have made zero progress.

Hi,

Why Qt 4 ? It has reached End Of Life. If you're locked to it then please you the latest version available which is 4.8.7.

Also, why build it yourself ? There are pre-built packages.
