Problem with 4.8 and ActiveQT

Hi !!

I have a big problem with 4.8 (not with 4.7):

I build succesfully ActiveQT (4.8, mingw32, windows-xp) (I copy the libs generated to LIB dir)

Then I try to compile my app ….
but I got a lot of errors:

Code:

Added after 34 minutes:

I discovered the problem:

these files are missing under the LIB DIR
QAxContainer.prl
QAxContainerd.prl
QAxServer.prl
QAxServerd.prl

Hi !,

Please can anybody tell me where I get these files:

QAxContainer.prl
QAxContainerd.prl
QAxServer.prl
QAxServerd.prl

????

Thank you!

I would have thought they would be made when compiling. Are you sure there were no errors when compiling active qt module?

Perhaps I did a fundamental mistake, so I tell what I did from the very beginning:

I used "qt-win-opensource-4.8.0-mingw.exe". It was compiled using "MinGW-gcc440_1.zip". --> Everthing works fine!
To build the "QAxContainer Module" I entered C:/Qt/4.8.0/src/activeqt/container.
I ran "qmake container.pro" and than "mingw32-make"
I got "libQAxContainerd.a" in the "container/debug"-directory and it was copied to c:/Qt/4.8.0/lib
I copied the whole directory of the example "webbroser" from C:/Qt/4.8.0/examples/activeqt/webbrowser into a working directory (without any changes)
I opended the project in Qt Creator and tried to compile (debug mode)
I got a a couple of error messages ....

Please help!
Thank you, hgstoehr

I think something went wrong with your install. I didnt have to compile qaxcontainer separately, although I built 4.7 not 4.8.

Has the naming convention changed? my libs dont start with 'lib'.

to amleto:
You were right!
I installed (compiled) everything for a 2nd time - and now it works!
But nevertheless I had to compile the "QAxContainer" and the "QAxServer" in "activeqt" separately.
Thank you

Hi.
To create *.prl files and fix problem:
- add to container.pro file in ../activeqt/container dir 2 lines:

Code:

---

CONFIG += create_prl
CONFIG += link_prl

---

- when qmake, make all, make install.
