Libraries, problems, external unresolveds..Steps to find the fix

[tonnot]

I have a third party libs. (msvc10) a MT/MD (Static cfgs's) and dynamic DLL cfg.
I have qt + msvc10 express + win sdk.7

They say that QT can only use this libs on "dynamic configuration" (what is dynamic configuration?)
What it is supossed I have to use ? (I feel as a stupid newbie...)


Ok , I use the existing examples offered, (using the libs) I can't compile ..... I have 4 unresolved external errors of the same lib.
(But I have zero errors for the others)
I have not support for these lib...... (but they are legal, I am a member without rights)

Which are the steps to investigate a possible fix? Where I have to look ?
Thanks.

Did you tell your compiler you want it to link against this library? What does your Qt project file look like?

[tonnot]

The project just use the typical LIB +L and -l.
Apparently the other libs can be compiled...
( I say this because If I comment some lib I have 300 errors related to it)


If I use the .dll's I have :
fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2B8 ????


So... Have I to use .lib or .dll ?
Thanks....


This is the QT project: (I hope you can view it well )
My 4 errors are related with TD_ExamplesCommon.

Maybe with the dependencywalker can I know something interesting.?
Thanks.

[wysota]

Maybe. The compiler claims your library (.lib) is corrupted.

[tonnot]

I have the solution.... (I receive help from the owners.)

I link with the .lib's files but also I must to have the .dll's at the same folder than my executable.
But.... I dont understand why it is possible?


It seems that this variable is the guilty:

DEFINES += _TOOLKIT_IN_DLL_

But... I dont understand ....
Static link is not automatic if you use .lib and dynamic if you use dll's ?

Thanks Wy.
