Have a 32-64bit problem with OpenCV and Qt












1














I have used OpenCV 3.2.0 since a long time ago.
Recently, I need to implement face detection with landmark detection so I decided to build the OpenCV again with extra OpenCV modules.
However, it seems that OpenCV 3.2.0 is not compatible with the latest extra OpenCV modules so I have to build it with the latest OpenCV (which is 4.0.0)



The problem is, I'm in a Catch 22 situation.



1. If I use mingw 32bit 5.1.0 to build OpenCV (which is a compiler bundled with Qt), I have a following error




CMakeFilesopencv_core.dir/objects.a: member
CMakeFilesopencv_core.dir/objects.a(vs_version.rc.obj) in archive is
not an object




2. If I use mingw 64bit 8.1.0 to build OpenCV, it works fine. However there are two situations that give me an error.



2.1. If I use mingw 32bit 5.1.0 to build a Qt Project with those OpenCV libs, it gives a following error.




D:opencv-buildbinlibopencv_core400.dll:-1: error: file not
recognized: File format not recognized




I suspect that this has something to do with 32-64bit problem. The compiler may expect 32bit libs, but the libs are 64bit format because the compiler used to build OpenCV was 64bit mingw.



file format pei-i386
file format pei-x86-64


The first one is the file format of the OpenCV 3.2.0 libs which I used in the past and worked fine with Qt.
The second one is the file format of the OpenCV 4.0.0 libs newly built.



2.2 If I use mingw 64bit 8.1.0 to build a Qt Project with those OpenCV libs, it gives a following error.




collect2.exe: error: ld returned 5 exit status




I suspect that this occurred because basically Qt is for 32-bit, not 64-bit.



What I want to do is that building OpenCV 4.0.0 so that somehow the file format of those OpenCV libs is pei-i386, not pei-x86-64.
How can I achieve this?

  • collect2.exe: error: ld returned 5 exit status is not a diagnostic. It is GCC saying "Your linkage failed :( Bye.". The linker's diagnostics precede this farewell in the buildlog, and they are what you need to post to get help with the linkage failure. Just post the complete buildlog, verbatim.

  • also you know you can download the opencv_contrib for version 3.2.0? better to use the latest version, though

    Your assumption regarding the Qt libs is correct. I would recommend you to build Qt yourself with the mingw 64 8.1.0

  • @Mike Kinghan It was the only error message. Is there a way for me to get the verbose buildlog in that case?

  • @James Probably, but I don't know what your build-system is or how you are running it.
