Problem with class-function from dll

[Ragnar]

Good Morning,

I created a .dll with Qt-creator 5.4, that is exporting some classes.
I now want to use these classes in an other Qt-Project. I managed to create an instance of the classes, but when i try to use a function (of course a public one) from one of the classes, i get an Error "undefined reference to ..."

Perhaps i make some very stupid errors, because its my first time working with a .dll

Can Anybody please help?

Can you show the actual error and the relevant sections of the classes you are exporting?

"undefined reference to ..."

Are you linking to the .lib that gets created along with the .dll? Did you declare the classes you want to export with __declspec( dllexport ) when you built the DLL, and do you declare them with __declspec( dllimport ) when you want to use them in your EXE?

I am linking to the .a file that was created with the .dll, i found that it is the same as the .lib file when i searched google.
And i am using the Qt-Macro Q_DECL_EXPORT to export and the Qt-Macro Q_DECL_IMPORT to import (just because the Qt-Creator gave it to me when i made a library-project).
I can try to use __declspec( dllexport ) and __declspec( dllimport ), but i think it does the same as the Qt-Macros.

The code looks like this in my exported classes:

class Q_DECL_EXPORT test1
{
public:
test1();
int func1();
void func2();
 
}

class Q_DECL_EXPORT test1
{
public:
test1();
int func1();
void func2();

}

EDIT: Thank you guys for your help, i solved the Problem now
There was a problem with the make-file i think, because i set a complet new project wit hexactly the same code and now it works, i can use the functions from the exported classes
