    Unhappy How to include id3lib library in Qt (Windows)

    Hello,

    I want to use id3libs library, but I can't include it. How come ?

    - I have downloaded libraries here (.h, .dll, .lib, .exp and .a).

    - I put all these files in one folder, so I've got this :
    -> audioProject/
    - a.mp3
    - audioProject.pro
    - audioProject.pro.user
    - audioProject.cpp
    - audioProject.h
    - id3.h
    - main.cpp
    -> id3/
    - field.h
    - globals.h
    - id3lib.dll
    - id3lib.lib
    - ...


    - I have added bellow lines in my .pro file :
    Qt Code:
    1. INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/id3/
    2. LIBS += -L$$PWD/id3/ -lid3lib
    3. HEADERS += audioProject.h # I did not included id3lib headers
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    - I wrote these lines in my audioProject.cpp file :
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <id3/tag.h>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    - But when I try an example, I've got errors :
    Qt Code:
    1. ID3_Tag tag("a.mp3");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Here are compilation errors :

    Qt Code:
    1. undefined reference to ID3_Tag::ID3_Tag(char const*)
    2. undefined reference to ID3_Tag::~ID3_Tag()
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


    "undefined reference" is because of bad libraries inclusion. But in my case, I am confused.
    How can I fix it ? (I am using Qt 5.1.1, Qt Creator 4.8.2 on Windows 7 64 bits).

    Thank you

    Which compiler do you use? You can't use a library built with msvc when compiling your own application with MinGW for example.

    Yes, I am using MinGW.
    I see g++ -c -pipe XXX in my compiler log.

    So what should I change ?

    You could start by posting the entire linker command that lead to the error.

    Edit:
    Actually, you need to build the C++ id3 library with MingW if your project is compiled with MingW. The id3lib.lib file indicates you have an MSVC built C++ library.

    As you can see, libraries path are right, but they are not accepted.
    I think it is really because I use MinGW.

    How can I rebuild it to work with MinGW ?

    Download id3lib source
    Read instructions
    Build

    Edit: You may need a full MingW/MSys environment and it may not compile unmodified.

    The solution was to update my gcc version.
