Linking

Hi,
I'm developing an application on Windows with Visual Studio and Qt 4. Now I'm trying to port the application to MinGW(using Eclipse as IDE). I have changed a lot of code that MS compiler let's do and GNU compiler don't let it.
Now the problem is on linking step. The compiler is getting me a lot of "_imp___" errors that I think that is because the libs that I'm linking are created using MS compiler and the GNU compiler is not able to link them.

Am I right? Is there any solution? The libs are commercial and no source code is avaiable.

Thanks,

did you build qt for mingw?
PS. use [b]reimp[b] tool from mingw bin utils to convert libs to libs which migw support.

Hi,

Yes, I have 2 versions of Qt. One compiled for VS and the other one compiled for MinGW.
The "_imp__" errors refer to the 3rd party libs that I'm using, not to Qt libs.

Thanks,

then use reimp tool for this libs for creating static libs which mingw recognize. they have *.a extension. and then link your app again with these libs.

Hi,

Thanks, I'm taking a look.

Hi,

The reimp tool have created "libOne.a" and "libOne.def". Have I to remove the "libOne.lib" file from the lib dir?
In my PRO file I have added:
LIBS += -L"C:\libs" -llibOne
If I remove the "libOne.lib" file from the libs dir I'm getting this error:
ld.exe: cannot find -llibOne

Thanks,

specify full name of a lib, i.e. ibOne.a

Hi,

Same error.
