HELP! Need to run cryptopp from Qt Creator

[ChrisW67]

Your LIBS setting is incorrect. Try:

LIBS += -L/path/to/CryptoPP/lib_dir -lcryptopp

LIBS += -L/path/to/CryptoPP/lib_dir -lcryptopp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(lib_dir contains cryptopp.lib)

You are possibly also missing an INCLUDEPATH, but if you get through compilation without it then the CryptoPP headers must be in a default location.

Hello I too am having problems including cryptopp in qt creator...I have an include path and the path set just like you described chris. I try different methods and I get linker errors, debug/exe errors, cannot find cryptopp.h...don't know what debug/exe error is.

this is my current include

INCLUDEPATH += <C:\Users\myname\Documents\cryptoProject\cryptopp>
LIBS += -L/path/to/CryptoPP/lib_dir -lcryptopp

INCLUDEPATH += <C:\Users\myname\Documents\cryptoProject\cryptopp>
LIBS += -L/path/to/CryptoPP/lib_dir -lcryptopp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The funny thing is when i hover over the includes in my mainwindow.cpp it shows the crypto includes directory...

Line 1: "<C:\Users\myname\Documents\cryptoProject\cryptopp >" is not a file path. Lose the "<" and ">" and switch all the "\" to "/". If the path contains spaces then you need to enclose it in quotes or move the library to somewhere without spaces in the path.
Line 2: You are supposed to replace "/path/to/CryptoPP/lib_dir" with the actual path you the directory containing the Crypto++ library
