How to set up the Bass Audio Library for Qt 6 MinGW

[8Observer8]

I read this topic using Bass with MingW It seems like it is possible to use it with MinGW. But I have problems with Qt Creator settings.

My steps:

• I downloaded the Bass library here: https://www.un4seen.com/
• I added it to my project:

I include it like this:

INCLUDEPATH += ".\libs\bass24-windows\include"
LIBS += -L".\libs\bass24-windows\x64"
LIBS += -lbass

#include "widget.h"
#include <bass.h>

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget(parent)
{
    BASS_GetVersion();
}

I have this error: error: cannot find -lbass

I tried to add bass.dll:

INCLUDEPATH += ".\libs\bass24-windows\include"
LIBS += -L".\libs\bass24-windows\x64\bass.dll"

But I have this error: error: undefined reference to BASS_GetVersion

.\ in INCLUDEPATH is your project dir. .\ in LIBS is your build dir, so if you have a shadow build next to your source tree the path is rather going to be something like this:

LIBS += -L"..\show-version-bass-qt6-cpp\libs\bass24-windows\x64"

Hi,

In addition to @Chris-Kawa, you can use $$PWD rather than the dot to use the full path to your source folder.

@Chris-Kawa thank you very much!

INCLUDEPATH += ".\libs\bass24-windows\include"
LIBS += -L"..\show-version-bass-qt6-cpp\libs\bass24-windows\x64"
LIBS += -lbass

#include "widget.h"
#include <bass.h>

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget(parent)
{
    BASS_GetVersion();
}

Widget::~Widget()
{
}

@SGaist said in How to set up the Bass Audio Library for Qt 6 MinGW:

$$PWD

Yes, it works! Thanks!

INCLUDEPATH += ".\libs\bass24-windows\include"
LIBS += -L$$PWD\libs\bass24-windows\x64
LIBS += -lbass
