Linking Error when Creating DLL with Visual Studio

[talk2amulya]

I think u r doing it wrong..QApplication and QCoreApplication are only used in executables..when u r creating a dll or lib, u dont use them..I'd suggest u make two projects in Visual studio..one u set as a startup project which will produce an exe, in there, u create a QApplication..in other project u create a dll and u use it with the exe

Actually, really what I would like to do is create a dll from C++ containing the GUI and have a Java backend load the GUI via JNI. It would be great to keep all the Qt stuff in C++.

then why r u tyring all that.. u should go ahead and create a container and put all the gui in it..export it..if u wanna see how its all going..u'll hv to create an exe and use QApplication..when u hv all u want..remove the main function part..create a dll out of all that and use JNI..i dont think it'll be a big issue
