[Qt-interest] Re : silly library question

[d3fault]

eh i tried doing:
LIBS += "C:/curl-7.21.6-devel-mingw32/lib/libcurl.a"
and even:
LIBS += "C:/curl-7.21.6-devel-mingw32/lib/libcurldll.a"
(there is no .lib file in /lib/)

but neither work.

i changed my double forwardslashes to backslashes as well... but it 
doesn't make any difference.

Oddly enough, doing:
LIBS += "C:/curl-7.21.6-devel-mingw32/bin/libcurl.dll"

lets it compile, but then it crashes when I try to run it with error: "During startup program exited with code 0x0000135."


I'm glad none of you have the answer. Makes me feel less stupid.

.... but seriously... this is such a basic task..... why is including an 
external library so damn hard? I've used libcurl in C# and it wasn't 
nearly as difficult.

And to those of you trying to get me to invoke qmake manually: fuck 
that. It's a bug in qt creator if you have to invoke the command line to 
include an external library.
