QT Wrong JPEG Library version - c++

I'm trying to build and run an application with Qt Creator, but got the error message Wrong JPEG library version: library is 62, caller expects 80. I've already remove the old version of my library on my OpenSuse system and installed the new libjpeg8. But still get the same error.
I was trying the same with YaST installer on OpenSuse, but it isn't help me too.
One more thing. When I try to build and run an application with the same code (from examples, it is camera example). It doesnt request it and start without problems. When I commentout the code from the camera example in my application, its starts.
I've already search and read the other Questions here on stackoverflow.

Qmake on Windows

I have a project written in Qt that I have no problems compiling and running on Linux. The command line is:
qmake ../trunk/GSDTesting.pro
The process on Linux was really simple: install a few dependencies using apt and you are off.
My task is to recompile the same program on Windows using Visual Studio C++ compiler, but the problem is I don't know how to start. There is no such thing as qmake for Windows.
Can someone give me a few hints where to start. Please note that I don't know QT almost at all, my task is just to debug some issue unrelated to QT.
Are you using terminal exclusively on Windows? If so, maybe this image of example build steps straight from Qt Creater 4.14.2 may help you:
As you can see the image of the default Qt creator build steps list the file path where 'qmake.exe' can be located on a local installation of the toolchain.
If you can use a machine with a display I find using the Qt creator GUI is not all that bad.
Here is a link to the base get started page:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/gettingstarted.html
Here is a link to the installer download page:
https://www.qt.io/download
IMPORTANT:
You will need to make a Qt account, login to your account, and then download the open-source version of the API. The commercial version of the same source is acquired differently/seperately.
Otherwise, if you cannot use the GUI, can I request some clarification on why you cannot use Qt creator on your Windows installation?

Cannot run Qt Creator GUI outside of Qt. "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" error

I downloaded C++ code from GitHub to tag images for training an object detector using Machine Learning.
Within Qt Creator 4.2.1 Based on Qt 5.8.0 (MSVC 2015, 32bit), I was able to compile and run the code. Unfortunately, I was not able to run the .exe outside of Qt Creator.
Initially, I received an error that
"The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing".
Thanks to
QT The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing, that was fixed easily by adding
"QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static"
to the .pro file. Now, when I run it I get
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I was able to reproduce the error using the simple "Hello World" default project that appears when you create a Qt Widget Application. This led me to believe something was wrong with my installation.
Based on the advice of this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12099117/32-bit-qt-application-on-win-7-x64-wont-run-but-runs-fine-from-qt-creator, I used Dependency Walker to identify possible causes. I expected to see only a few items that I can follow up on. Instead, I received a list of close to 100 missing .dll files. All the files started with
"API-MS-WIN ###.DLL" or "EXT-MS ###.DLL"
where ### represent some additional text characters, for example;
"API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-STREAM-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL"
I'm attaching a sample output.
Another suggestion was to copy over
libwinpthread-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll, libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.
That did not work either.
My next move was to simply get the latest version of QT and wish for the best. I installed Qt Creator 4.8.1 Based on At 5.12.0 (MSVC 2015, 32 bit). This time, I could not even get the code to run in the IDE. I received 1000+ error messages!
Based on advice from several pages, I added
greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
to the .pro file and it still would not compile.
Also, I verified that the application is being built as a 32bit application. I'm running on a 64 bit Windows 10 system.
If anyone would like to take a crack at it to see if they can create a working .exe, here is the link: github.com/clavicule/BBTag
Qt provides a tool to copy the necessary dlls to the folder of your executable.
The tools is called windeployqt.exe and comes with your Qt installation. For me it is located at C:\Qt\5.9.1\msvc2015_64\bin\windeployqt.exe. You will have to look at your installation path and probably the msvc_32 folder to find it.
Then you go to the folder with your executable in it, oben a command prompt or powershell and execute path\to\windeployqt.exe yourProgram.exe and it will automatically copy the necessary dll files to this folder. Afterwards you can run your program without issues.
The official documentation for the tool can be found here.
Alternative 1: While developing you could use QtCreator which automatically adds the paths to the dlls when running your program - make sure to include them if you deploy your program!
Alternative 2: Add the path to the necessary dlls to your PATH variable. This isn't recommended either, since everyone who gets your program would have to do the same to run it.
I figured it out! My installation of Anaconda (a Python distribution popular for data science and machine learning) is the culprit.
From: #remy-lebeau
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
The error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ..."
is a good indicator that the 32-bit app tried to load a 64-bit DLL. At first, this did not make sense since I verified many times that I was using the 32 bit version of Qt.
It turns out that the installation of the 64 bit version of Anaconda also contained many Qt5 dlls used for the PyQt5 package. Since the path to this folder came before the path to my c:\Qt...\bin folder, it was used in the build instead of the actual 32 bit version installed with Qt. This was not obvious because I was unaware of PyQt5 so I had no idea that it came with Anaconda. A simple reordering of the path entries using the System Environment Variables interface AND a system restart fixed the problem.
Silver lining: I now know C++ and designing GUIs w/ QT and PyQt5

How do I bundle in ImageMagick's dependencies in a Qt project?

I currently have a C++/QML application that uses ImageMagick to handle large images. I've written it only for Mac. It works fine when I run the program from Qt Creator, or even when I build it for Release and let it rely on weak linking.
I want to share this program with a friend who does not have the Qt libraries or ImageMagick installed. So I've run macdeployqt over the app bundle in a hope it would insert the frameworks required to run the program.
Thankfully that works. The program starts up and runs. However, once ImageMagick kicks in and tries to open a TIFF file, I'm presented with this error from an exception:
Error: Magick: no decode delegate for this image format 'TIFF'
After some various Google searches, I've only found issues from people who had that error from installing ImageMagick directly and are trying to use it from console. I can use ImageMagick and read TIFFs completely fine UNTIL I run the app after it has been deployed.
I'm guessing my question now is: How can I deploy the required "delegate" for tiff along with my app bundle?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

OpenCV in Code::Blocks: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000be)

I set up OpenCV with Code::Blocks as per this tutorial: http://kevinhughes.ca/tutorials/opencv-install-on-windows-with-codeblocks-and-mingw/.
I've got as far as building the test program at the end successfully, but when I try to run it I get the following error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000be). Click OK to close the application."
The one thing that is certainly different from the tutorial for me is that I'm working with OpenCV 3.0.0, Code::Blocks 13.12 and the latest version of mingw (number not obvious from their website or the installer).
I found that other people had had this problem in the past, e.g. The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000be)
However, it has been a long time since that thread was active, I'm working with newer versions of the software and, most importantly, the answer given there didn't help (I compiled openCV with the same mingw that I'm using with Code::Blocks), so I thought this question would be worth asking (sorry if it's not, I'm rather new to this).
Could anybody suggest a fix that might get rid of this error?
A few other things to note:
I didn't download the Code::Blocks that came with mingw as I was advised against it, I got them separately as per the tutorial
I have installed OpenCV and Code::Blocks on my E: drive, though mingw is still on my C:.
I have added both mingw and OpenCV to my PATH variable, and mingw to my Path variable
I have linked the libraries in both the main compiler settings for Code::Blocks and the Build Options of my project.
I'm working from a 64-bit Windows 7 Laptop, but I have done everything 32-bit style as advised in the tutorial.
Thanks in advance!
So, one solution I've found to this problem is to copy all the .dll files from "...\opencv\build\x86\mingw\bin" to the project file (build directory).
Having done that, the project will run fine. This still doesn't (directly) explain why it wont run without those files (at least, several sources including the tutorial imply it should), and so isn't really optimal. I will continue to look for a solution for this so I don't have to clutter every opencv project I make with the .dlls.
However, for anyone simply wanting to get stuck into coding who is having this problem, I recommend that solution.

Deploying Qt application on OSX issue finding GStreamer plugins

I am trying to deploy an application on OSX 10.8.5 which builds and runs on an OSX system but I am having runtime issues when the application is started due to it not location a GStreamer Plugin (in this case osxvideosink).
I did the following steps to make the .app bundle.
Compiled the application in QtCreator release mode.
Ran macdeployqt on the resulting .app file
Added in additional libraries e.g. boost and gstreamer.
Used macdependency to find which paths were wrong, changed them to the right ones. All of the dependencys are found within the .app bundle and no errors are reported.
Ran the software on the machine with the libraries install and it works.
Made a .dmg file and moved it onto another machine. Copied out the .app.
Ran it and it work for a few seconds until the required gstreamer plugin is loaded when it crashes out as it cannot find that plugin.
The way I see it, it could be caused by two issues. 1. osxvideosink does not work on that machine, which would be odd as it works on machines with exactly the same operation system. Or the libosxvideosink.dylib file is not found by the linker at run time.
I'm pretty new to macs so any help / ideas would be appreciated.
