Link error with qt 5.12

[Francky033]

When I try to compile my program under Qt 5.12 for Android, I get an avalanche of linkage errors:

Everything worked well with previous versions of Qt.... What's going on? What's going on?

Thanx!

Best regards,

Franck

[Francky033]

If i use the flag "-stdlib=libstdc++", the compilation works fine but I have got the message :

"readelf: Error: Not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start" and the application crashes on startup on the android device...

[mvuori]

You don't mention your NDK. If you still use v. 10, I'd suggest next trying the new 18b, which should be the most comptible with 5.12

[Francky033]

I tried with the 10, 17c, 18b versions of NDK but without success. I always get the same link errors.

[jsulm]

@Francky033 Are you sure you built for Android?

[J.Hilk]

@Francky033 said in Link error with qt 5.12:

I tried with the 10, 17c, 18b versions of NDK but without success. I always get the same link errors.

how exactly did you change your NDK that you're linking against? Because this was the issue I had. Took me a while, fidling with QTC, to get it running correctly.

Don't foget to delete your build folder for a clean rebuild after changing.

Also keep in mind, if you're using pre compiled libaries, you may have to recompile them, when using 5.12. I run into that with QZXing as part of my project.

[Francky033]

Yes, I have build for armeabi-v7a. With Qt 5.11.3, everything works well...

[Francky033]

I recompiled all libraries with Qt 5.12 and the NDK r17b. I deleted the build folders before performing the rebuilds.
I always get the same link errors.
Could it be the fact that the compiler changed between version 5.11 and 5.12 of Qt? (gcc ->clang)
Is it due to a change in the standard library?

[Francky033]

have found the source of my problem. It was just necessary to link with the static library gnustd....

I succeeded by adding the line

LIBS += "E:\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle\sources\cxx-stl\gnu-libstdc++\4.9\libs\armeabi-v7a\libgnustl_static.a"

to my pro file

Is there a more elegant way to do this?
