Qt Creator: unresolved external symbol __imp__EncodePointer - c++

I'm trying to compile an empty "qt widgets application" project created with Qt Creator.
It gives me various linking errors like
MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__EncodePointer#4 referenced in function _pre_c_init
MSVCRTD.lib(atonexit.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__EncodePointer#4
and so on.
Building qt examples gives the same error.
I have Visual Studio 2010 and Windows SDK installed, the right compiler seems to be chosen.
UPD: I have switched to miniGW compiler and it works now. Not sure if that solution is suitable for everybody.

Trying to install SDL2 to run with visual c++, works with 32bit libs but not 64bit

I've been trying to setup Visual studio to work with SDL2, but I've encountered a problem. I've done all the linking and stuff, and everything works fine if I link the x86 libs.
However, if I only change this bit, meaning I link to the x64 libs (I'm on windows 8 64 bits)
everything stops working. That's the errors I get :
Source.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Init referenced in function _SDL_main
and other similars, and a last one, a bit different :
1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
I really don't know why, since I didn't change a bit of code going from 32 to 64, if anyone has a solution, otherwise I'll juste use the 32bit libs...
If you need additionnal information I can gladly provide.

Visual Studio 2010 : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol : sapi.h and Microsoft Speech SDK for KINECT

I'm encountering a strange bug in Visual Studio 2010...
I work with the Kinect for Windows SDK v1.8 on VS 2010 Ultimate, for a speech recognizer program using the MS Kinect.
Like it's explained in the sample SpeechBasics (available on Kinect Developer Toolkit Browser), I added the specifics VC++ include and library paths into my project properties, before listing the default system include and library directories.
But When I buid the solution, I get the following errors :
CKinect_Squeletton.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SPDFID_WaveFormatEx
CKinect_Squeletton.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_SpStream
CKinect_Squeletton.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_SpInprocRecognizer
CKinect_Squeletton.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _CLSID_SpObjectTokenCategory
build failed.
I had checked all my include files, all my project properties. I did a lot of research, and tested many possibilities of response, but I hadn't found response for my problem...
I have tried cleaning the solution, build with a x64 target architecture, but that doesn't always work.
Why have I this problem ?
Like suggested in the comment, I've checked the link on social MSDN
I've resolved some errors but not all in using __uuidof(SpStream) instead of CLSID_SpStream , and __uuidof(SpInprocRecognizer) instead of CLSID_SpInprocRecognizer .
But i don't found CLSID_SpObjectTokenCategory in my code, I have only
ISpObjectToken *pEngineToken = NULL;
hr = SpFindBestToken(SPCAT_RECOGNIZERS,L"Language=40C;Kinect=True",NULL,&pEngineToken);
I can't replace it with __uuidof(SpObjectTokenCategory) .
Also, I always don't know how to resolve the error
CKinect_Squeletton.obj: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SPDFID_WaveFormatEx
I've added sapi.lib in Project + Properties, Linker, Input, and I also try with #pragma comment(lib, "sapi.lib")
I have resolved my problem !
I work on Windows 7 64bit, and I had installed MS Speech Platform SDK 11 x64.
But to build with a x86 target architecture , I had to install and use MS Speech Platform SDK 11 x86, and specify in my project properties the path for the x86 sapi lib !
The compiler gave me errors when I've tried to build with a x64 target architecture, because others specific libraries that I have included in the project are for a x86 architecture...
Sorry and maybe this solution will help someone one day !

Setting up SDL in Visual Studio with Errors

I have been having this issue for a very long time, I have not even had no luck and it is becoming very frustrating. I am really itching to create games in C++ with OpenGL/SDL. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012. My Operating System is a 64-bit Windows 7.
I had no troubles setting up OpenGL with Visual Studio, but SDL is the main problem. I follow lazy foo tutorials, I looked at YouTube videos, god damn it is irritating. The error I am getting when debugging SDL in Visual Studio is:
1>SDLMain.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Init
referenced in function _SDL_main 1>SDLMain.obj : error LNK2019:
unresolved external symbol _SDL_Quit referenced in function _SDL_main
1>MSVCRT.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
WinMain#16 referenced in function __tmainCRTStartup
I do not know what you mean by building the libraries by myself, but I did link the SDL Library. I switched from x64 to x86 and when I debugged my code again I got this message:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
So your saying if I downloaded an earlier version of Visual studio, I can run SDL without a problem?

Linker error ( VS 2005 vs VS 2012 )

I am trying to build libxml2 library with VS 2012 compiling and linking against DDK 7 headers and libraries. With VS 2005 it builds fine but with VS 2012, I am getting a linker error. On close inspection of symbols generated -
On VS 2005,
Found __imp___vsnprintf
Referenced in error.obj
Referenced in xmlreader.obj
Referenced in xmlwriter.obj
Referenced in xmlstring.obj
Loaded msvcrt.lib(msvcrt.dll)
On VS 2012,
error.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__vsnprintf
referencedin function ___xmlRaiseError
xmlreader.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__vsnprintf
xmlwriter.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__vsnprintf
xmlstring.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__vsnprintf
__imp__vsnprintf, __imp___vsnprintf on VS 2012 and VS 2005 respectively for the same function ( Notice the extra _ mark before vsnprintf in VS 2005). I looked at the compiler and linker options for the VS 2005 and VS 2012 in the build log. Both are the same. With the showIncludes option passed to the compiler, I see the exactly same set of headers used for the source files on both VS 2005 and VS 2012.
Why is yet the symbol generation in VS 2012 being different ? How to resolve the issue with out compiling and linking against default headers and libs ?
Thanks.
Do not use DDK for building user-mode components. DDK stands for Driver Development Kit. Using it for user mode is undefined behavior. Use SDK instead.

Unresolved external symbol CompleteAuthToken referenced

While porting a desktop application to windows mobile I've reached the following error:
Error LNK2019: unresolved external
symbol CompleteAuthToken referenced in
function
Reading MSDN it tell me that CompleteAuthToken is supported on Windows CE 2.10 and later and I should link against Secur32.lib, but adding that library didn't fix the unresolved symbol error. Any ideas?
Note: I'm using Visual Studio 2008 + Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK.
I think the MSDN docs are wrong. Looking in the Platform Builder source, I see that CompleteAuthToken() is in schannel.def and that it gets built into schannel.lib, not secure32.lib. See if making that change helps.
Did you include Security.h?
