failed to start app error 142 (taglib)

[Marek]

Hi
I'm having troubles adding taglib to my project (on Windows of course, Linux works as usually).
I have downloaded taglib sources from git and compiled it under Cygwin32, gcc version 7.3.0 (target: i686-pc-cygwin ?) using cmake.
Static libtag.a was created, I believe it is 32 bit, when I execute
dumpbin.exe /headers taglib/libtag.a | grep -i machine
I have got:
14C machine (x86)
In Qt I'm using Qt 5.11.1 MinGW 32Bit so it should work ?
Compilation ends with error:
recipe for target 'release/lib-test.exe' failed
and there is popup saying:
The application was unable to start correctly (0x000000142)

can comeone help?
Best,
Marek

Hi @Marek,

So if I understand you correctly, you have build taglib with Cygwin-gcc and your program win MinGW?

Have you already found this stackoverflow question?

They propose to add -DTAGLIB_STATIC when compiling your app.

@aha_1980 I haven't, let me check it

@aha_1980 now I have 100+ errors like undefined reference to '__dso_handle' from libtag.a so I assume it won't work with libtag.a compiled by gcc.
The example you provided was with cmake using mingw to compile.

Best,
Marek

@Marek

ah, yes you are right. If I were you, I'd try to compile taglib with mingw too to avoid incompatibilities.

My gut feeling is, that you cannot exchange libs between mingw and cygwin-gcc
