LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'QXmlEditWidget.lib'

[Docas Nwanebu]

Hi 

Please assist,I downloaded qxmledit-master from github and am trying to compile QXmlEdit on QTcreator 4.0.1 based on Qt5.6.1 , When I compile it complains with the QXmlEditWidget.lib that it is not found. I searched the project folder and indeed it is not there. I did not change anything yet on the code itself.  

what am I doing wrong? I would appreciate your help.

Regards

Docas

Hello, what operating system and compiler are you using? Could you include some log?

I guess you are using Windows and Microsoft compiler given the error code.

I compile under Windows using mingw32 from command line using the batch "compile.sh".

Hi Ibell

Thank you for your response, i appreciate a lot. I am using windows 10 and microsoft visual c++  14.0 compiler. I have not tried it with mingw32, I will install it and try with it. (see the log below)

thanks again

Hi Ibell

Thanks a lot.
