Mingw linker cannot find correct Qt libraries

[Bill Smith]

Am attempting to use QT with harbour.  Have installed:

harbour-nightly-win.exe   (mingw32)

QtContribs_Mingw-482_Qt-530_r313_Setup

Qt-opensource-windows-X86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.1

 

Everything ‘should’ be 32bit, though I suspect otherwise. The installed lib files are

 

Libhbqtcore.a

libQt5Core.a

libhbqtgui.a

libQt5Gui.a

libQt5Widgets.a

libQt5PrintSupport.a

 

Attempting to compile an example simple widow yields:

 

…\hbide\alarm>hbmk2 -w3 alarm.prg D:\hb32qt\addons\hbqt\qtgui\hbqtgui.hbc

uic 5.3.0

 

...i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lhbqtcore

…i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lQt5Core

…i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lhbqtgui

…i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lQt5Gui

…i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lQt5Widgets

…i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lQt5PrintSupport

 

Suggestions welcome.

Hello Smith

Am attempting to use QT with harbour. 

Welcome onboard, hope you will find HbQt useful.

 

harbour-nightly-win.exe   (mingw32)

This will not go with QtContribs r313.

QtContribs is self contained installer including Harbour 

binaries together with Qt binaries and libs. The reason that 

you cannot use Harbour nightly is that Harbour is still compiled with 

MinGW 4.6 whereas HbQt is compiled with MinGW 4.8. 

Unless you decide to compile Harbour yourself with MinGW 

stick with only QtContribs installer.

And unless you are ready to compile HbQt youself, you do not 

need to have Qt installation at your machine. QtContribs 

installer contains all the binaries required to develop and ship 

your application for Windows targets. For any other target, i.e.,

Linux, Mac, Android, you will have to compile Harbour, QtContribs 

yourself which will require you to have all components in place.

QtContribs_Mingw-482_Qt-530_r313_Setup

 

Ok.

Qt-opensource-windows-X86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.1

As said above, you do not need to have it installed.

And I suggest you should not  because you has referred 

Harbour nightly above which means you are not geared 

up to compile Harbour yourselves.

 

  

Everything ‘should’ be 32bit, though I suspect otherwise. The installed lib files are

Rest everything be determined what I explained above.
