QT static with vs2005: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol

[ucomesdag]

This part looks somewhat suspicious. You said you built 4.2.1 right?

Oups your right 4.2.0 it is...

[ucomesdag]

Nobody usin Vs2005 with a static build of qt?

[gfunk]

So, are there really 4.2.1 libs in c:\qt\4.2.0-static\lib (instead of c:\qt\4.2.1-static\lib)? If not, then fix your paths, or put the libs in there.

No you got me wrong I wrote 4.2.1 from the beginning of this thread but meant 4.2.0 and yes the libs are there... And stuff compiles fine from the command line... I just cant get it to work from vs2005 (I must be really dumb )...

Yes this is looks like VS issue. What I did to fix it:

-created a new .pro file
-open new .vcproj file from .pro using QT Visual Studio integration

After these steps it works for me.

Seems like you don't have debug version of Qt. So generate the project file in release mode:

qmake -tp vc -config release

qmake -tp vc -config release

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hi.. Thanks for your answer.
I tried it out in release version

qmake -tp vc -config release

then.. I found error

WARNING: Unable to generate output for C:/Qt/4.4.0/Makefile.Release [TEMPLATE vcapp]
WARNING: Unable to generate output for C:/Qt/4.4.0/Makefile.Debug [TEMPLATE vcapp]

What should I install for right version?
Should I delete and reinstall everything?
Please kindly reply me.

I meant to run that command in the project directory, not in Qt installation directory. That's the command to generate a Visual Studio project out of a qmake project file. That's how you created the Visual Studio project in the first place, right?

Thanks a lot.

I reinstalled MinGw with following components,
* MinGW base tools
* G++ compiler
* MinGW make

then I changed the path and type in VC command prompt
1. qmake -project
2. qmake
3. make
It work out now.
