I simply cannot figure out what’s going on here.
I installed Visual Studio 2013 Express. It seems to work fine.
I then downloaded the latest offline 64-bit Qt binary and installed it.
When I try to compile a new project I have created in Qt Creator, I get the error: “LNK1104: cannot open file ‘gdi32.lib’
I have read all other topics that I can find on this matter, and they all seem to indicate that the Windows SDK is not installed or that Qt Creator is not configured properly.
I have the Windows 8 SDK installed. But the thing is, there is no ‘gdi32.lib’ with the libraries that were installed with the Windows 8 SDK that I can find.
I have checked in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\Win8\um\x64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x64
There are many lib files in each of those directories. But none of them are gdi32.lib. I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I have no idea what.
In the Compilers settings for Qt Creator, the one that is active for my kit is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
I’m not really sure what I should check or how to proceed in getting this working. I’ve spent hours troubleshooting and reading online and nothing has helped.
I really appreciate any assistance that can be provided.
