Qt and QGis integration ERROR `__imp__ZN14QgsApplicationC1ERiPPcbRK7QStringS5_'

[Aman55]

OS : windows 10 64 bit x64
Qt Creator 4.11.1
Based on Qt 5.14.1 (MSVC 2017, 32 bit)

Can any one help me to resolve this issue?

You can not mix MSVC and MinGW c++ libraries - if you want to use MinGW/g++ then you also have to compile OSGeo with MinGW which I doubt you have.

[Aman55]

Can you guide to compile OSGeo with MinGW? @Christian-Ehrlicher . As in OSGeo installer i don't get option to choose MinGw or MSVC.

Can you guide to compile OSGeo with MinGW?

Please refer to their documentation: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/INSTALL.md

I have downloaded visual studio 2017 and I updated my compiler with Qt Compiler MSVC 2017. got an error
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis-ltr-dev\include\qgssettingsentry.h:31: error: C7525: inline variables require at least '/std:c++17' @Christian-Ehrlicher @jsulm

[Aman55]

update c++11 to c++17 and build successfully . but 13:39:44: The program has unexpectedly finished. when i run in debug mode it giving ![alt

[jsulm]

@Aman55 Do you have the debug versions of the QGIS libs?

[Aman55]

@jsulm can't say yes. if it comes with download only.

can't say yes. if it comes with download only.

You can simply check what DLLs where installed.
Does release build work?

[Aman55]

@jsulm Yes release build work for the above main.cpp code. currently used to load shp file and gives error

    QgsApplication::init();

    // 2. Specify the path to your SHP file
    QString shpFilePath = ":/gis_osm_barriers_07_1.shp"; // Replace with the actual path

    // 3. Check if the file exists
    QFileInfo fileInfo(shpFilePath);
    if (!fileInfo.exists()) {
        qDebug() << "Error: Shapefile not found at" << shpFilePath;
        QgsApplication::exit();
        return 1;
    }


    // 4. Create a QgsVectorLayer
    QgsVectorLayer *vlayer = new QgsVectorLayer(shpFilePath, "shapefile_layer", "ogr"); // "ogr" is the data provider

    // 5. Check if the layer is valid
    if (!vlayer->isValid()) {
        qDebug() << "Error: Could not load shapefile:" << vlayer->error().message();
        delete vlayer;
        QgsApplication::exit();
        return 1;
    }

    // 6.  Accessing Feature Information (Example)
    qDebug() << "Number of features:" << vlayer->featureCount();


    // 7. Clean up
    delete vlayer;  // Important to prevent memory leaks
    QgsApplication::exit();

    return 0;
}

@Aman55 Then you probably only have the release versions of these libs which can't be mixed with a debug build.

"Yes release build work for the above main.cpp code. currently used to load shp file and gives error" - I don't get it. How can it work if you get compiler errors? What is the very first error?

[Aman55]

@jsulm Previously i have only use qgsapplication header as

#include <QApplication>
#include <qgsapplication.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QgsApplication app(argc, argv, true);
  QgsApplication::setPrefixPath("C:/OSGeo4W64/apps/qgis-ltr-dev", true);

  int retval = app.exec();
//  QgsApplication::exitQgis();
  return retval;
}

so there is no need for other headerfiles. then it build successfully. Now i am reading shp file where it does not locate M_PI Macro

[Aman55]

it build successfully but giving some runtime error unable to pinpoint as it only gives The program has unexpectedly finished. After including #include <qgsapplication.h>

[JonB]

@Aman55 So far as I can see you have not tried to show the stack trace from a debugger when it crashes.

[Aman55]

@JonB In debug mode i got error of CDB process terminated

[JonB]

@Aman55 Yes, you need to look at the stack trace pane in the debugger when that happens, so that you know where it comes from.
