Native Windows API link problem on Qt + win32 + mingw

问题

I am trying to use native windows API with Qt using mingw toolset. There are link problems with some functions. What happens? Is this a bug with mingw name mangling?

#ifdef Q_WS_WIN
    HWND hwnd = QWidget::winId();
    HDC hdcEMF  = CreateEnhMetaFile(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ) ;
    Rectangle(hdcEMF,100,100,200,200);
    HENHMETAFILE hemf = CloseEnhMetaFile(hdcEMF);
    OpenClipboard(hwnd);
    EmptyClipboard();
    SetClipboardData(CF_ENHMETAFILE,hemf);
    CloseClipboard();
#else

The errors:

undefined reference to `CreateEnhMetaFileW@16'

undefined reference to `Rectangle@20'

undefined reference to `CloseEnhMetaFile@4'

回答1:

The functions CreateEnhMetaFileW() and CloseEnhMetaFile() are defined in the static library Gdi32.lib, so you have to make sure to link against that. Try adding -lgdi32 to the end of your command line you're using to compile. If that doesn't work, you might have to specify the full path to Gdi32.lib by adding -L/path/to/folder/containing/the/library -lgdi32 instead.

If you want to use Windows API in a Qt app then there's no need to declare WinAPI functions extern "C", just include:

#include <qt_windows.h>

In your project file (.pro) add the libraries you use:

LIBS += -luser32 -lshell32 -lgdi32

回答3:

It's possible that the functions are included, but getting mangled due to the C++ assumption.

Look into the extern C { } declaration. It's intended to declare functions that should not be name mangled to account for polymorphism / overloading. (IE two functions with the same name).

@torn your solution worked for me.

I wanted to use a win32 api call in my qt application.

the #include the #include your-win32-api-header

and finally the LIBS += -llibrary name.

Note that you might have to give -L for the right paths too.
