VS2017 Static linking QGif Plugin

Taytoo

I'm working with 5.12.1 static build. Tried to use QMovie to display an animated gif on dialog, but it returned error "Unsupported Image Format", looks like I need to link with qgif.lib.

Added Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qgif) to the main.cpp
Added QT_STATICPLUGIN in preprocessor
Added qgif.lib to VS Project Properties: Configuration -> Linker -> Additional Dependencies

I'm getting following error:

Error LNK2019	unresolved external symbol "struct QStaticPlugin const __cdecl qt_static_plugin_qgif(void)" (?qt_static_plugin_qgif@@YA?BUQStaticPlugin@@XZ) referenced in function "public: __thiscall StaticqgifPluginInstance::StaticqgifPluginInstance(void)" (??0StaticqgifPluginInstance@@QAE@XZ)

@Taytoo Resolved Windows vista style issue by adding "Plugin" at the end.

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QWindowsVistaStylePlugin)

and also adding uxtheme.lib to linker dependencies.

Resolved qgif plugin by using

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QGifPlugin)

and adding qgif.lib to linker dependencies.

@Taytoo I've also been having issues with Windows UI on Win7 looking like Windows Classic and it looks like I need to import windows vista style library for that, which brings me back to this issue.

Tried:

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qwindowsvistastyle)
Added qwindowsvistastyle.lib and qwindows.lib to Linker Additional Dependencies.

Getting a similiar error as previous one:

Error	LNK2019	unresolved external symbol "struct QStaticPlugin const __cdecl qt_static_plugin_qwindowsvistastyle(void)" (?qt_static_plugin_qwindowsvistastyle@@YA?BUQStaticPlugin@@XZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl `dynamic initializer for 'staticqwindowsvistastyleInstance''(void)" (??__EstaticqwindowsvistastyleInstance@@YAXXZ)

Can anyone please help me out, this is a blocking issue for me.
