libQtShadowsocks compilation issue

[SGWW]

Hello guys

I am not a big pro so need a little help from the comunity with compiling libQtShadowsocks

I am already getting through QT installation and configuration and succefull cmake and than I stucked with project build.

Here is the lib I try to build https://github.com/shadowsocks/libQtShadowsocks/tree/master/lib

My system is Windows 8, QTCreator 4.4.1

Whyle building the lib I got the following errors:

Here are the errors:

C:\QTProjects\libQtShadowsocks-2.0.0beta\lib\cipher.cpp:153: error: C2440: 'reinterpret_cast': cannot convert from 'std::_Vector_iterator<std::_Vector_val<std::_Simple_types>>' to 'const char *'

C:\QTProjects\libQtShadowsocks-2.0.0beta\lib\cipher.cpp:154: error: C2440: '': cannot convert from 'unsigned int' to 'std::string'

C:\QTProjects\libQtShadowsocks-2.0.0beta\lib\cipher.cpp:192: error: C2440: '': cannot convert from 'unsigned int' to 'std::string'

Also I have some warnings like

C:\QTProjects\libQtShadowsocks-2.0.0beta\lib\address.cpp:34: warning: C4273: 'QSS::Address::Address': inconsistent dll linkage

C:\QTProjects\libQtShadowsocks-2.0.0beta\lib\address.cpp:40: warning: C4273: 'QSS::Address::Address': inconsistent dll linkage

Can somebody point me out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks a lot.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What version of Qt are you using ?
What compiler ? Guessing MSVC but which one if it's the case ?

Hi SGaist

QT 5.9.2 and MSVC 14

Hi
Did you give visual studio 2015 all service packs it can get ?
The library you are trying to use demand c++14 and you should be running update 3 in the hope
all needed 14 features are in fact supported.
