I am trying to get libqglviewer to work in visual studio, I have installed Qt5.2.0 64-bit for VS 2012.
I have added the include directories for QGLViewer and QT in the project settings together with the lib-directory and the lib-files for qt (both Release and Debug).
I have a simple example code to test it:
main.cpp
#include "simpleViewer.h"
#include <qapplication.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
// Read command lines arguments.
QApplication application(argc,argv);
// Instantiate the viewer.
/* Viewer viewer;
viewer.setWindowTitle("simpleViewer");
// Make the viewer window visible on screen.
viewer.show();
// Run main loop.
return application.exec();*/
}
simpleViewer.h
#include <QGLViewer/qglviewer.h>
class Viewer : public QGLViewer
{
protected :
virtual void draw();
virtual void init();
virtual QString helpString() const;
};
When I try to compile it I get
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "_declspec(dllimport) public: virtual class QString __cdecl QGLViewer::mouseBindingsString(void)const " (__imp_?mouseBindingsString@QGLViewer@@UEBA?AVQString@@XZ)
Plenty of them. I have looked around, but I cannot understand what the error is.
If I comment out everything except QApplication(argc,argv) it compiles, but if I uncomment Viewer viewer I get a lot of errors. I don't see what is missing since it compiles when I only use QApplication.
It feels like there is something missing with the linking, but I have added all .lib files I can find.
One thing is that if I download the libQGLViewer and run the following
qmake -t vclib QGLViewer.pro -spec win32-msvc2013
and then opens it in Visual Studio 2013 ( I changed today without success) it builds and generates the QGLViewer2.dll files as it should according to the instruction on libQGLViewers homepage. But if I try the simpleViewer example it gives the same problems again.
