I have installed qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64_opengl-5.4.0.exe and compiled boost_1_58_0.zip with this command: b2 toolset=msvc --build-type=complete stage. It works fine with Visual Studio, but when I try use it with Qt I get this error:
:-1: error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc120-mt-gd-1_58.lib'
Here is my .pro file:
TEMPLATE = app
QT += qml quick widgets
SOURCES += main.cpp \
testclass.cpp
RESOURCES += qml.qrc
INCLUDEPATH += C:\boost
LIBS += "-LC:\boost\stage\lib\libboost_filesystem-vc120-mt-gd-1_58.lib"
#Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model
QML_IMPORT_PATH =
# Default rules for deployment.
include(deployment.pri)
HEADERS += \
testclass.h
In the LIBS variable use just "-L" for correct library path (-L). You made a mix, specifying a file (lowercase l) while libs directory is missing.
You do not need to specify the library, boost has pragmas for that.

Situation:
I need to add a library (HDF5 in my case) to my qt project.
I know how to code c++ enough for my purposes, but i have no clue about the .pro file. When i try to google my problem or general guides for adding libraries i find lots of answers but understand none of them, because they require more knowledge then i have. They say stuff like "compile it here and there", "add this and that to your system", "use qmake in directory xyz". Can someone please answer the question so that one who only knows a bit of c++ and the green compile & run button of qt understands it? Would be great :-)
What I tired:
I know that there is a wizarb in qt that can add librarys to projects. I used it to add the libraries needed. I added them as "external librarys".
I tried as dynamic or static, i tried adding only the hdf5.lib or the hdf5_cpp.lib too.
Problem:
When I do it as I described above and try to use a function from the added library i always get errors like: undefined reference to H5::Function_Name_xyz.
My .pro looks like (generated by the qt add-library-wizard):
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console c++11
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
SOURCES += \
main.cpp
#Add external static library "hdf5.lib":
unix|win32: LIBS += -L'C:/Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.10.2/lib/' -lhdf5

I had this same issue awhile back. I did the following to correct the linking error.
Make sure you run qmake (Build-> Run qmake) after adding a new library to the .pro file.
Since you are using windows with the pre-built HDF library, you should use the MSVC2015 32 bit Build&Run kit. The pre-built libraries used Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, so to use the HDF libraries you will need to use that compiler.
Per the HDF documentation, you need to list the external libraries first. The following snippit shows my setup using dynamic libraries.
If your using dynamic libraries be sure to add DEFINES += H5_BUILT_AS_DYNAMIC_LIB to your .pro file.
win32: LIBS += -L$$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.10.4/lib/' -lszip -lzlib -lhdf5 -lhdf5_cpp
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.10.4/include'
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files/HDF_Group/HDF5/1.10.4/include'
I am trying to run OpenALPR on QT. I installed it here. I can test it from terminal successfully. I got the error in the title on QT. Undefined reference error is caused by unlinked library but I add the libopenalpr.so under the path /usr/lib to the .pro file. Why I get that error?
My cpp file:
#include "alpr.h"
int main()
{
alpr::Alpr openalpr("us", "etc/openalpr/openalpr.conf");
}
My pro file:
QT += core
QT -= gui
TARGET = OpenAlprTry
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp
LIBS += -L -lopenalpr
You can use pkg-config to link with your wanted library.
Add to .pro file:
unix: CONFIG += link_pkgconfig
unix: PKGCONFIG += openalpr
Package name could be different or you could need to add more packages.
To check pkg-config names type in your terminal:
pkg-config --list-all | grep openalpr
and add packages like that
unix: PKGCONFIG += package1 package2 package3
Can you first check whether openalpr library is in the library path? IF not add the library path to the .pro file.
I am trying to use google protobuf 2.6 in QT 5.7 (clang 7.0) with QT creator 4.0.3 on OSX without much luck.
The .pro file has
LIBS += `pkg-config --cflags -- libs protobuf`
to include the protobuf library.
In the header file I generated using my proto file contains the line
#include <google/protobuf/stubs/common.h>
this produces a compiler error of
error: 'google/protobuf/stubs/common.h' file not found
The protobuf package is found by QT with the LIBS += command in the pro file and I have the unfound header files in
/Users/<username>/Qt/5.7/Src/qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/src/google/protobuf/stubs
and
/usr/local/include/google/protobuf/stubs/common.h
I installed protobuf using macports.
The header file autocompletes so QT knows where it is so I am not sure how to deal with the file not found error.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
a.
edit:
I think the problem is /usr/local/ not being included is qt path, thus I can find the protobuf package but not any of the header files (even though it autocompletes?). How do I add to PATH in QT with el capitain?

Using Protobuf 2.4 with Qt 5.7 in Windows/Linux/Mac. Download and compile Protobuf 2.4 with the compiler you are using, (Im using MSVC/MinGW on Windows, gcc in Linux, clan on Mac OS). And edit your .pro file. My .pro configuration using this steps:
Load the compiled library for debug/release mode:
#For Windows
win32 {
CONFIG(debug, release|debug) {
win32:LIBS += -llibprotobuf-debug
} else {
win32:LIBS += -llibprotobuf
}
}
#For linux
!win32:LIBS += -lprotobuf
Include the path with all protobuf source code:
win32:INCLUDEPATH += "..\\...\\directoty_protobuf\\src"
Its working fine for me.
M'kay so I'm new to Qt and I'm trying to include the boost/filesystem lib to my project. However, when I try to build it, I always get this error:
LNK1104: File "libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_61.lib" cannot be
opened.
Now, I know that this library needs to be build beforehand, so, as described on the Boost-Website I made:
bootstrap
.\b2
and it built just fine. I also used the Qt dialog to add the libary to my project, my .pro-file looks like this:
QT += core gui
greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
TARGET = ProjectName
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp\
mainwindow.cpp \
someclass.cpp \
someclass2.cpp
HEADERS += mainwindow.h \
someclass.h \
someclass2.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/libarys -llibboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_61
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/libarys -llibboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_61
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$PWD/libarys -llibboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_61
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/boost
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/boost
Apparently, I did something wrong, but I can't figure out, WHAT exactly it is. The internet knows the problem, but it seems there's no "easy" solution to it.
Turned out, my project didn't like the lib-version.
I rebuilt my lib files:
>b2 --build-dir="destination/directory" toolset=msvc --build-type=complete link=static threading=multi --with-filesystem stage
Then, I used the library in
release/link-static/runtime-link-static/threading-multi/
Which is:
libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-s-1_61
And re-ran qmake for the .pro-file. Then built and executed the application and the error is gone.
If I try to execute the code from here, the OpenGLBook, I get this error messages:
undefined reference to glutMainLoop
undefined reference to glGetString
undefined reference to glClearColor
and so on ... I installed the following packages:
libglew-dev, liblglew1.8, freeglut3-dev and freeglut3.
I am running on Ubuntu 13.10 with Qt Creator v3.0.0.
My .pro file looks like this:
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
SOURCES += main.cpp
Build step for debugging is qmake Project.pro -r -spec linux-g++ CONFIG += debug
How can I fix my project?
Had to change my pro file to
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt
SOURCES += main.cpp
# this is the important part
unix|win32: LIBS += -lGLU
unix|win32: LIBS += -lGL
unix|win32: LIBS += -lglut
Welcome to c++ !
You are using a library (freeglut I gather) and for this you need 2 things :
1) include the headers (*.h file(s)) that declare the functions/classes/methods that you need
2) your program needs to link with the actual shared library (.so files in Linux)
In your .pro file you need to specify the path to the libraries you want to link with. Add this :
LIBS += -lglut
It means add the library glut to the list of libraries to link.
