Compiling on Windows Ultimate x64, linking to Qt Creator. about libtins HOT 10 CLOSED

According to this thread, you should be specifying the path without using a space after the "-L" option, like:

-LC:\libtins

The same thing for the other "-L" options.

Hi,

have you checked the this section on the website? You should also be linking against ws2_32 and Iphlpapi (both of them are already present on your system).

If that's not the problem, then please post the compiler/linker error message so I can try to spot to error.

from libtins.

Thank you for replying on such short notice. ws2_32.lib and Iphlpapi.lib weren't present, I had to install the Microsoft SDKs (~4GB) to find them.

Now the Qt project file's (.pro) linking section looks like this:

INCLUDEPATH += C:\WpdPack\Include
INCLUDEPATH += C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Include
LIBS += -L C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib -lws2_32 -lIphlpapi # Both .lib files are in there.
LIBS += -L C:\WpdPack\Lib\x64 -lwpcap - lpacket
LIBS += -L C:\libtins -ltins # There's only a static library file (~25MB) in there, tins.lib.

And the error is this:

error: C1083: Cannot open include file: 'tins/tins.h': No such file or directory.

I tried adding the library with the "Add library" option in Qt Creator as a static library (I compiled as static with cmake), it didn't help. I appreciate your concern.

Note: Wpcap works fine.

Update: Adding this line produces the following errors,
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -lwpcap -lpacket -lws2_32 -lIphlpapi -ltins
D9002 : ignoring unknown options "-lwpcap", "-lpacket", "-lws2_32", "-lIphlpapi", "-ltins"

from libtins.

The problem is that headers are inside the "include" directory but there's not "tins" subdirectory in there. This is an issue on Windows, since you're not actually installing the library.

I've just pushed a fix, which moves headers to a "tins" subdirectory. This will have no impact on the layout of installed files, but you will be able to use the "include" directory in other applications and it will work, even if you don't install it. Just pull the code and recompile, it should work this time.

Again, thank you for your attention. I am terribly sorry if I am being 'newbie' over here, but this error popped up now:

• error: LNK1146: no argument specified with option '/LIBPATH:'

I have absolutely no idea what that means, I even asked on #qt @ freenode network about this, no one replied though.

Also, on #qt they told me I have to use quotes for a path which contains spaces, so I moved everything in C:\libtins. Surprisingly a different error came up this time:

Please post the complete error message, although this seems more like a Visual Studio/QtCreator than a libtins one.

Yeah I agree, I am having someone helping me at the moment. I will update soon.

Update:
We made the project file like this: http://pastebin.com/0wgwjBuf
And got to this compile output: http://pastebin.com/JkttMPc4

I also did this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26435118/static-library-linking-failure

from libtins.

Closing since this is more likely to be a QtCreator configuration issue than a libtins one.
