I know this question has been asked a lot of times already but I'm sorry, I just can't figure out what is wrong with what I've been doing.
What I want is to read a DICOM image (by pixel because I have to perform operations on it) and display it on a Qt GUI.
I have Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013. I downloaded Qt opensource and also VS's plugin for it. I built Qt using cmake-gui. Then, I followed what was said on a discussion here in stackoverflow entitled "How to use DCMTK in Qt". I downloaded DCMTK 3.6.0, configured and generated it using cmake-gui, built its ALL_BUILD and INSTALL projects in VS. So far, everything is successful. Then I tried creating a simple program that will read a DICOM image and display it.
I created a new Qt Application and named it MainWindow. Here is my mainwindow.cpp:
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <dcmtk\config\osconfig.h>
#include <dcmtk\ofstd\ofcond.h>
#include <dcmtk\ofstd\ofstring.h>
#include <dcmtk\dcmdata\dctk.h>
#include <dcmtk\dcmdata\dcfilefo.h>
#include <dcmtk\dcmdata\dcitem.h>
#include <dcmtk\dcmdata\dcdeftag.h>
#include <dcmtk\dcmdata\dctagkey.h>
void MainWindow::tryDCMTK() {
DcmFileFormat fileformat;
OFCondition status = fileformat.loadFile("C:/Users/Kriselle/Documents/000004.dcm");
if (status.good())
{
OFString patientsName;
if (fileformat.getDataset()->findAndGetOFString(DCM_PatientName, patientsName).good())
{
printf("Patient's Name: %s",patientsName);
}
else
printf("Error: cannot access Patient's Name!");
}
else
printf("Error: cannot read DICOM file (%s)", status.text());
}
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent) {
ui.setupUi(this);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow() {}
mainwindow.h:
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QtWidgets/QMainWindow>
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow {
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private:
Ui::MainWindowClass ui;
void tryDCMTK();
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

When I tried to run it, the following 7 LNK2019 errors occurred:

I have looked into other discussions: *Link 1** said that the libraries must be linked in properties->linker->additional library dependencies. I already did that. Screenshots of my additional library dependencies and environment variables are available in the zip file attached below.
*Link 2** has a different error output. (I was already past that). *Link 3** said "look for linker flags/settings inside a project configuration dialog" but I don't know what's wrong with my linker settings. I even listed the libraries inside the lib directory in my Additional Dependencies. (A screenshot of my Additional Dependencies is also included in the zip file below.) I have also done what was suggested at *Link 4**. Furthermore, I believe I didn't commit the same mistake as displayed in *Link 5** because I have no parameters for my function.
The images are here: https://db.tt/CmpJndan The links of online discussions I have looked into are here: https://db.tt/AOsewqUg
As much as I would like to make it easier for you to see the images and navigate to the links, I am very sorry, I can only post a maximum of two links due to my lack of reputation.
Please help me. Thank you very much for your time!
EDIT: I changed the order of my libraries according to their dependencies and added NetAPI32.lib and WSock32.lib to my libraries thanks to the link Hans gave in the comments. But I still get the same errors.
