[Qt-interest] problems the libpng and QT

[Sarvesh Saran]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Adding -lz seems to solve the problem...however at times when I exclude -lz, the application links properly. sometimes it does not. I wonder what the reason behind this inconsistency is.

Thanks,
Sarvesh

These functions are from zlib. Try adding "-lz" to your linker options.
