QT Subdir-未定义参考

Question

I am working on a QT project with subdirs, it works just fine on linux (ubuntu) but when I tried to run on windows I get undefinded reference to `moduleInterface::...´ in which ... refers to all the methods on my subdir. The Qt version I am using (5.11.2) is the same in both linux and windows. The subdirs configurations are the following:

main.pro

TEMPLATE = subdirs

SUBDIRS += \
         tests \
         coreSerialTerm \
         serialTermView

serialTermView.depends = coreSerialTerm
tests.depends = coreSerialTerm

coreSerialTerm.pro

QT       -= gui
QT       += serialport
QT       += core
CONFIG   += c++14
TARGET = coreSerialTerm
TEMPLATE = lib

DEFINES += CORESERIALTERM_LIBRARY

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any feature of Qt which has been marked as deprecated (the exact warnings

# You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs.

When I compile, I get the following errors :

Answer 1

It looks like a compiling order problem. Probably the linker can't find some symbols because they belong to one of the other sub-projects, but they have not been processed yet.

Try to change your subdirs .pro file as follows:

TEMPLATE = subdirs

CONFIG += ordered

SUBDIRS += \             
         coreSerialTerm \
         tests \
         serialTermView

The .depends attribute never really worked for me on windows.
