LNK1104 after adding custom libaries
-
Hi everyone
I'm pretty new to the whole Qt thing, but everything seems to be okay for me, besides this one. In my project, I need to use two third party libraries: RapidJSON and TinyXML2.
I downloaded their code on GitHub, and compiled them using MingW (using g++ -o tinyxml2.o tinyxml2.h and then ar rcs libtinyxml2.a tinyxml2.o). After, I just added the library to my project, using Qt Creator, and tried to compile.
But I can't. I get a LNK1104 error from the compiler: "can't open file 'tinyxml2d.lib'". After restarting, I also have this now ::-1: erreur : dependent 'D:\Users\thoma\Documents\TEST\C:\Libs\tinyxml2d.lib' does not exist.
I mean, it's kind of normal it can find it since I only have .a and not .lib files. What am I missing ?
I'm using Windows 10 (x64).
Thanks
By the way, here is my .pro file.
EDIT : I tried to remove the various $$PWD/ from the .pro file, and I'm getting the first error message again.

Hello Thomas,
Welcome to the Qt forum!@TKowalski said in LNK1104 after adding custom libaries:
I need to use two third party libraries: RapidJSON and TinyXML2.
Qt provides support for both JSON and XML from the QtCore module.
win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/C:/Libs/libtinyxml2.a else:win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/C:/Libs/libtinyxml2d.a else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(release, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/C:/Libs/tinyxml2.lib else:win32:!win32-g++:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): PRE_TARGETDEPS += $$PWD/C:/Libs/tinyxml2d.libThis assumes you're linking static libraries. Furthermore mingw (win32-g++) doesn't generate
libfiles, but archives -.a, because it's a port of Linux's g++ ... and based on this pro file I'd say you're compiling your project with MSVC (the error code/formatting is also a giveaway). You can't mix compilers! Either compile everything with MSVC or with mingw.Kind regards.
