I have written a Windows application using qt, that has a number of dll dependencies. However, when i moved it to another machine, i started getting errors like "entry point @@somethingsomething not found in avformat55.dll".
The kicker is, this message is correct. The function is not in that dll at all, it is in completely different one, that is also in the folder of the executable.
Why would be function searched for in wrong place? How should that be fixed?
Edit: i have exchanged all ffmpeg dlls for ones built for x64 system; this causes program to fail to start with 0xc000007b exception; that probably has to do with system being 64-bit.
Edit. I have tried binaries on several other machines, the same mistake occurs regardles of being x64 or x86. But debug build works correctly, so it is a release build problem.
Edit: my .pro file
