qtgui4.dll error in visual c++ 2005

[Comptrol]

Hi, I have installed qt to use in visual c++ 2005. when I run the program in debug mode it works nicely; however in the release mode , I have this run time error after safely compiling, except the error number is 1644280 instead:



the necessary directories are set as requested. So, the code must be seeing the qtgui4.dll file in the respective directories[ bin and lib directories in this case.] . could you help me solve this error, any idea?

Thanks .

edit: my qt edition is 4.3.4 and I have checked this similar thread , and it didn't help me: http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-newb...error-530.html

[Comptrol]

I have checked the regarding file with the dependency walker and there appeared such error and warning:



there is a checksum error in qtcore4.dll and an "unresolved import warning" in mpr.dll -as indicated here-
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/deploym...n-dependencies


the erroor belonging to mpr.dll is said to be unimportant in the page of dependency walker:

http://www.dependencywalker.com/faq.html

"
Why am I seeing a lot of applications where MPR.DLL shows up in red under SHLWAPI.DLL because it is missing a function named WNetRestoreConnectionA? I also get a "Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module" message.
Some versions of SHLWAPI.DLL (like the one on Windows XP) have a delay-load dependency on the function WNetRestoreConnectionA in MPR.DLL. Missing delay-load functions are not a problem as long as the calling DLL is prepared to handle the situation. Dependency Walker flags all potential problems as it cannot detect if an application intends to handle the issue. In the case of SHLWAPI.DLL, this is not an problem as it does not require WNetRestoreConnectionA to exist and handles the missing function at runtime. This warning can be ignored. See the "How to Interpret Warnings and Errors in Dependency Walker" section in help for more details.
"

So, isn't there anyone help me? :S

thanks again

It seems that your Qt libraries are compiled for MinGW and not MSVC. Did you compile them yourself? The ones distributed with the open source binary version of Qt are meant for MinGW.

Hi Thanks for your answer.

I didn't understand if i compiled myself :S I use nmake to build them. Afterwards, i compile them by pressing f5.
As for not running in MSVC, if there were some problem in not working in MSVC, shouldn't same error appear in Debug Mode either. I mean this error occurs only in Release Mode. Do you think this is a deliberate measure to prevent using QT in MSVC? and yes this is open source version.

"Them" meaning Qt libraries? What exactly did you do to install Qt? What did you download and what did you do afterwards?

As for not running in MSVC, if there were some problem in not working in MSVC, shouldn't same error appear in Debug Mode either.

No, that's not true. You might have compiled debug mode libraries yourself using MSVC but the release version of the libs might have been precompiled for MinGW.

Do you think this is a deliberate measure to prevent using QT in MSVC?

No, that's certainly a problem with your installation.

[Comptrol]

"Them" meaning Qt libraries? What exactly did you do to install Qt? What did you download and what did you do afterwards?

Yes I meant libraries. But clearly i had misunderstood your question. I wrote "configure" after extracting the zip files to compile the files.

No, that's not true. You might have compiled debug mode libraries
yourself using MSVC but the release version of the libs might have been precompiled for MinGW.

So in any way, can I use open source QT both in debug and release mode in MSVC or should I use Qt Open source only and only in MinGw?




I installed this Qt a few months ago, so I don't remember the steps exactly but I really spent my days to manage installing. I finished Installing by following the steps indicated here

If I am not wrong . I extracted the open source version in a directory. and wrote command line "configure" and "nmake" and something related to Visual Studio's 2005 Command Prompt[ not default command prompt of Windows] to make connection between Visual Studio and Qt libraries.

I really appreciate your efforts for helping thanks a lot.

[wysota]

Yes I meant libraries. But clearly i had misunderstood your question. I wrote "configure" after extracting the zip files to compile the files.

Which archive did you download? You should have downloaded the source archive and not the binary archive (which by the way also contains the sources).

So in any way, can I use open source QT both in debug and release mode in MSVC or should I use Qt Open source only and only in MinGw?

Yes, of course you can use Qt with MSVC in both release and debug modes. You just need to have them built properly.

[Comptrol]

Which archive did you download? You should have downloaded the source archive and not the binary archive (which by the way also contains the sources).

Yes I have Installed source archive. And also followed the steps doc directory of extracted files to install in Windows, which could be reached online as well:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/install-win.html

If we pay attention of the first passage of this text , we will see this crucial warning :S

"Qt Open Source Edition is not officially supported for use with any version of Visual Studio. Integration with Visual Studio is available as part of the Qt Commercial Editions."

Do you think this could be the reason of the error i am taking , otherwise, what do you suggest me to; should I install the source code again or Just stop using MSVC and prefer to MinGw?

Ps: Thanks for sparing your time to me.

Why don't you install 4.4 instead of the several months old 4.2?

Hi wysota, I have reinstalled the QT with qt-win-opensource-src-4.4.0.zip. and it works fine this time both in release and debug time . However, while i was uninstalling source code; I uninstalled development tools as well. So, I don't have them currently. as a result, I intend to install them again by this package qt-win-opensource-4.4.0-mingw.exe . yet, during the installation it claims to install source codes as well-which I have already Installed. Hence, will I install this package or something else to use development tools?

[wysota]

So do you want to use Qt with MinGW or MSVC? I'm a bit confused What development tools are you talking about?

[Comptrol]

So do you want to use Qt with MinGW or MSVC? I'm a bit confused What development tools are you talking about?

I am using MSVC 2005 but I want to be able to use design tools as well-qt designer, qt assistant, qt linguist . As far as I remember, when I was using previous version, I installed both source code and Mingw seperately for that. I just want to be sure this time by asking you :S I know I am asking a lot

[wysota]

All the tools are built from Qt's sources, so if you compiled the sources, the tools are there as well.

[Comptrol]

All the tools are built from Qt's sources, so if you compiled the sources, the tools are there as well.

Thanks again, I have found the binary files. However, clearly, regretfully, unfortunately... I only have linguist and assistant ; designer isn't here! can i cry for this??



So, what am I supposed to do now? remaking whole source file , which took approximately 15 hours!!!

[wysota]

I don't know what you exactly did, so it's hard to provide a solution You might cd into tools/ and then call nmake sub-designer but it's a long shot - you must have done something unusual that designer wasn't built, so there is a good chance there is a reason for that

all i did was to first wrote
"configure"

and then

"nmake" as it is stated here

Ok, I stop trying to use tools on MSVC, can I use them on MINGW at the same time? so that i will just carry the source code MSVC afterwards? btw, I really appreciate your effort to help me.

[wysota]

Did you pass any options to configure? Did it tell you what are the final features it is going to build into Qt? Did you get any error messages after calling nmake? Please provide details.

now i run nmake again and I got this result with error

Good... now we are getting somewhere. You are missing the libraries for sure. I guess you'll have to recompile at least some of the code... Start by running configure -help, read what options you can pass to configure and rerun configure with those options. At some point you'll get a list of enabled and disabled features. Please paste that list here.

before running configure -help i copied the missing file,qtdesignerd4.dll, from BIN to LIB since other similar files sizes are equal. however this time i get similar error and that file i copied to BIN got deleted.
