shared vs static

[alisami]

hi,

i have been trying to build qt in windows as a static library.

until now i have been using it as a shared library and the following worked fine with shared library mode. also i have been able to build the same in linux using static qt libraries but i have this problem on windows.

do you have any comments about the following problem ?

the flags i've used with configure is as follows:

configure -debug -static -no-fast -no-accessibility -no-dsp -no-vcproj -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -no-libmng -no-qt3support -no-phonon -no-webkit -no-assistant-webkit

configure -debug -static -no-fast -no-accessibility -no-dsp -no-vcproj -qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libtiff -qt-libjpeg -no-libmng -no-qt3support -no-phonon -no-webkit -no-assistant-webkit

i have a library with the following pro file:

TEMPLATE = lib
TARGET =
INCLUDEPATH += .
RESOURCES += AKKB.qrc
HEADERS = all the header files goes here
SOURCES = all the source files goes here
CONFIG += debug qt static

i link the resulting library in another application and also i link the libraries
- qtmaind.lib
- qtcored.lib
- qtguid.lib

when i compile the application i receive the following errors:

qtcored.lib(qtextcodec.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__CharNextExA@12 referenced in function "public: class QString __thiscall QWindowsLocalCodec::convertToUnicodeCharByChar(cha r const *,int,struct QTextCodec::ConverterState *)const " (?convertToUnicodeCharByChar@QWindowsLocalCodec@@Q BE?AVQString@@PBDHPAUConverterState@QTextCodec@@@Z )

Static debug libs? Why on the earth?

[alisami]

actually the executable will not be run on windows. but we are doing simulation on windows, and I don't want to add some flags for switching between static and shared mode.

[alisami]

i figured out that when using static qt libraries, it is required to link the following msvc libraries as well to the application:

gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib oleaut32.lib imm32.lib winmm.lib winspool.lib ws2_32.lib ole32.lib user32.lib advapi32.lib msimg32.lib shell32.lib kernel32.lib uuid.lib

gdi32.lib comdlg32.lib oleaut32.lib imm32.lib winmm.lib winspool.lib ws2_32.lib ole32.lib user32.lib advapi32.lib msimg32.lib shell32.lib kernel32.lib uuid.lib
