What could be causing my QT program to compile and run successfully in debug mode but not in release mode using qmake?

I made a QT soft under linux. I also compil it for windows. I really don't understand why it compil and run fine in debug mode : https://github.com/surfzoid/QtVsPlayer/actions/runs/5120917271/jobs/9208007636

But, if i keep the default release mode, it replace for example "NET_DVR_GetLastError" by "__imp_NET_DVR_GetLastError" and generate error "undefined reference to" like we can see here : https://github.com/surfzoid/QtVsPlayer/actions/runs/5120768793/jobs/9207674580

I have the same result with qtcreator under win, but under linux, release or debug work!

i would like same compil success under win and linux, with debug or release mode

Solution

  • If you look into the log of the release build you will notice that the linker complains about missing imp_NET_DVR_* symbols. Those are a part of the hcnetsdk library which your application doesn't link to; you do it only for debug builds.
