I played a bit with Qt5.6RC and the latest MSVC 2015. I can compile
current master without errors but finally I still get this linking error:
D:\LyXGit\Master\compile-2015\src\tests\check_ExternalTransforms.vcxproj" (standard
target) (18) ->
support.lib(os.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
___wgetmainargs referenced in function "void __cdecl
lyx::support::os::init(int,char * * const)"
(?init@os@support@lyx@@YAXHQAPAD@Z)
[D:\LyXGit\Master\compile-2015\src\tests\check_ExternalTransforms.vcxproj]
D:\LyXGit\Master\compile-2015\bin\Release\check_ExternalTransforms.exe :
fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
[D:\LyXGit\Master\compile-2015\src\tests\check_ExternalTransforms.vcxproj]
for the
- LyX.exe
- check_Length.exe
- check_ExternalTransforms.exe
- check_ListingsCaption.exe
- check_convert.exe
I still cannot imagine that there is a bug in MSVC because I get the
same with MSVC 2013 and cannot imagine that users did not yet reported
such a linking error.
Of course I can switch to MinGW but to me its seems we have a real issue
that should be corrected.
I read that MinGW 4.9 is not fully capable of the windows handling in
Win 10 so if possible I would prefer using MSVC for maintainability
reasons. Of course if the mentioned error is not fixable I won't have
another option.
thanks and regards
