QtRPT : cannot find -lQtZint - c++

I have problem including QTRPT in my project.
I've copied all files and folders from "QtRptProject 1.5.2/QtRptProject" folder to my project folder (where .pro & .cpp & .h files are) and I've also inserted the line "include(QtRPT/QtRPT.pri)" in my .pro file (at the end).
The problem is that when compiling I get this error :
-1: error: cannot find -lQtZint
How can I fix it.
Thank you

If you are going to use a barcode feature, you need copy also zint-2.4.4 folder. Before building your project, you should build zint library first. Probably you problem in paths

How to include .cpp and .hpp files of a library in my c++ project in visual studio

Apologies for a very basic question. I am trying to port from a CMake project into a visual studio project.
Basically I want to run the project from visual studio without using the CMake file. In the project I need to port, there are many folders and sub folders that contains many .cpp and .h files. These are included to the main cpp file as using #includes.
My Case
The library I want to include
and my main.cpp
For instance to make things simple assume I have a main file main.cpp and this file includes #include "Libpfs/colorspace/colorspace.h". The Libpfs is a folder and it has many sub folders one of which is colorspace folder and this has many .h and .cpp files. One .h file is colorspace.h that is included in main.cpp using the #include and the folder also has .cpp file i.e. colorspace.cpp.
My Attempt
My objective is include them to my project.
Now here is what I have tried
in Visual Studio Project->properties->C/C++ in Additional Include Directories I gave the path of the folder that contains Libpfs but this approach did not work and gave linker errors this might be because I have no lib files for the Libpfs (correct me if I am wrong). I only have .cpp files of the corresponding .h files. I presume the cause of error is the the .cpp files are not compiled yet.
My Question
How can I include the cpp file to my project as well (not the lib files since I dont have those).
Using this for a source, I find the CMakeLists.txt to contain nothing special.
FILE(GLOB COLORSPACE_H *.h)
FILE(GLOB COLORSPACE_HXX *.hxx)
FILE(GLOB COLORSPACE_CPP *.cpp)
SET(LIBPFS_H ${LIBPFS_H} ${COLORSPACE_H} ${COLORSPACE_HXX} PARENT_SCOPE)
SET(LIBPFS_CPP ${LIBPFS_CPP} ${COLORSPACE_CPP} PARENT_SCOPE)
So you can just add all the files to a VS C++ project. I would use some directory management, to separate these sources from your own.
But anyhow, in that case, you should include the sources by relative path. E.g.
#include "../../Libpfs/colorspace/colorspace.h"
Alternatively, you could put everything in a separate C++ library (static .lib or dynamic .dll). In that case you should but the binaries in in a bin path and add that as additional library directory (project properties of your own project) and put all the header files in an include/Libpfs path and add that as additional include directory. In that case you should include the files as.
#include <Libpfs/colorspace/colorspace.h>
On another topic
#define pow_F(a,b) (xexpf(b*xlogf(a)))
I found this define only in the sources of the same source used above.
It seems to be sourced from sleef and according to this it should give a speedup. But you should measure if that is really still true, instead of doing copy-paste/cargo cult programming.
I think generally you should use the standard library std::pow, which has overloads for float, double and long double. The compiler will in most cases optimize its use for you.
open explorer , look for C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\ and then go after dir with alot of .lib's in its \lib .
it's an msvc source for .lib and other stuff like that . copy your library there

QtCreator - Compiling issue - External source files

I have a Qt project, accessing another cross-platform (boost) project on my disc. Adding the header includes does not seem to cause any problem.
#include "../../Visual Studio 2015/Projects/..." //Header file down the road
Adding existing source files to the sources folder in my Qt Project works also without a problem, the files are found and I can open them. I believe the files are not correctly compiled - if at all - as I get a linker error, telling me that %sourcefile%.obj could not be opened. (not created)
LNK1104: cannot open file 'debug\Error.obj'
I tried copying the content of Error.cpp into a new .cpp file created in the Qt project directory. After that the error message jumped to the next source file. I could now do this for all source files, but this seems to be quite... unhandy. Changes in the original project won't affect the Qt project then.
Does somebody know the problem / got a solution to it ?
I checked this question, answer and comments already, but that did not seem to fix the error or change anything.
The solution was quite simple and a little strange. It appears that something is causing an issue when using paths with spaces with Qt's include(...) and SOURCES in a *.pro file.
//This apparently works and source files are compiled.
include(C:/ProjDir/ProjName.pri)
//This works too, but the source files are not being compiled.
include("../../Visual Studio 2015/Projects/ProjDir/ProjName.pri")
Thanks to JKSH on the Qt-Forums and Sebastian for his hint using a .pri file.

Visual Studio Include cpp file from other project

I have a C++ .h and .cpp file from another project that I want to include into my project.
I don't want to copy the files over into my project since I want any changes to those files be applied to both projects.
I've included the directory of the file's folder in the
Properties->VC++ Directories->Include Directories
I've also included the folder in the
Properties->C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
The .h files seem to work. If I rename the include to anything other than
#include "myfile.h"
The cpp file gets unknown definitions.
When I compile. The error is
fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\..\..\..\..\my project\myfile.cpp': No such file or directory
If I remove the cpp file from the project. Then I get a long list of unresolved functions.
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: unsigned long __thiscall myclass::myfunction"
How can I include both the .h and .cpp file into my second project?
For cpp files you can just use right mouse click on project, select "add"->existing item.
Then they should compile with others, when a build initiated.
Slightly more complicated with headers. There is two ways to use #include directive:
with < > and " " braces
When " " braces used, compiler treats path as relative (if not absolute used) to location of cpp file.
When < > braces used, compiler looks for file in something like system include folders. For example - stdlib headers folder and windows.h location folder. Properties entry Additional Include Directories also goes there.
I suggest you to change projects structure and extract shared features from both projects to compile it as static library. Place shared headers in some subfolder inside library project and refer then as
#include "mylibHeaderDir/someheader.h"
In dependent projects, after setting Additional Include Directories you can refer theese includes as
#include <myLibHeaderDir/someheader.h>
This approach will help you in future, as you can reuse that shared module in every project you want.
About how to create and link static library you can read this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms235627(v=vs.110).aspx Version of visual studio may be differ, but basics are the same.
You can't just pick files like that. There are two reasonable ways to solve it. 1, shared the file by means of a Code Versioning System (e.g. svn/git). 2, compile the the .cpp into a library and link to that library.
If the cpp can be used by multiple projects, it must mean that the code is something common. That means you should compile that code by itself into a library and then share that library. Compiling the same cpp into multiple libraries is likely to result in conflicts later if two such libraries are ever needed to work together.
Try to drag them into your solution?
You can create a new folder in your solution, and drag them all into this folder!

Xcode - header files issue with .cpp file

I have imported my project from windows to mac and Is using xcode to compile the project.
I have managed to fix most error and bugs from the porting process but there is one bug/error I am unable to determine why its not working as it should. This probably due to my lack of knowledge of xcode but was wondering if anyone is able to help me with this problem.
The problem is this;
I have a two sub folders in my project, once called include and another called source. Of course include contains all the header files and source contains all the cpp files and such.
Example:
Root/
Include/
Header.h
Source/
test.cpp
Now in the build settings in the xcode project, I have added $(SRCROOT)/Include/ in the Header Serach Paths. So therefore I presume that xcode will include any header files in the Include folder.
So in the test.cpp class I add #include "Header.h". When I click build I get an error saying "'Header.h' file not found".
Im not entirely sure what I am doing wrong, of course I can do this for example - #include "../Include/Header.h" but that's going to be a pain going through all the cpp files in my project (which is a lot).
I was just wondering if anyone else came across this problem?
Thanks for reading.
In general you need to add the headers to the User Header Search Paths, which if you search the help in XCode will give you the format you need to pass the directory as.

How to include .obj files into the project

I have the following question:
I was given the task - to build an application. There was a ready file counter.h and some other file - counter.obj. It turned out that in the counter.h there were only declarations of the functions - how can I include .obj file into the .cpp file so that it compiles? I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 - and in which folder should the file itself go?
Add the obj-file to the Solution just as you would do with cpp-files (i usually do this by drag-and-drop, that is, drag the file from the Windows Explorer and drop it on a project in the Solution Exporer window).
You can put the obj-file together with cpp-files; it doesn't really matter.
You do cannot include object file in to a cpp file.
The compiler compiles the cpp file and generates the obj files, for each cpp file, these files are further linked together to create an libray or an executable.
Usually, you would link libraries(.lib or .dll) to an Application, Check if those are with you.
If not,
You can try linking the object file to your application by:
Go to project properties then from "Property Page" select the node "C/C++" their you will get "Additional Include Directories" add the name of your object file.Keep your obj file in the directory where your source code is or you can add the directory from:
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++Directories.
I have never tried the second method except for academic projects,which was years ago, So not sure about it, Please check information on MSDN.
