Build on Windows

[aa5sh]

LadisLiv (or anyone else) I have started using a Hermes Lite 2 as my main radio and for that I am using the Thetis software which works great with QLog. But I am trying to get to where I can build and play with QLog. I have gotten to the point where I can compile it works ok with one exception. It will crash if I try to connect to either my radio or rotor which uses HamLib. So I am guessing there is something up with the way I am binding to that DLL and I was hoping to get a little help. I will go through and try to document what I have done to this point to get it to work (if I can step through it). But for HamLib this is what I did:
I installed the Hamlib 4.5.5 installer (hamlib-w64-4.5.5.exe) then in looking at the documentation I ran the following command in (C:\Program Files\hamlib-w64-4.5.5\lib\msvc) ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.41.34120\bin\Hostx64\x64\link.exe" /lib /machine:X64 /def:libhamlib-4.def]

When I did that QT complains saying it cannot find hamlib.lib so I made a copy of libhamlib-4.lib to be hamlib.lib. When I did that it will build and run without issue. Until I try to connect to a radio/rotor using hamlib. It will also crash if I try to open settings which I think is related to opening hamlib to query the rig and rotor list.

I have run a debug and the last line is always something with HamLib. For instance, if I try and connect to a rig, I see this:
rig_has_get_parm called

Or rotor:
rot_get_ext_parm called
rot_get_ext_func called

Or when I open the settings form:
rig_has_get_parm called
rot_get_ext_parm called
rot_get_ext_level called

I feel like I am doing some simple and wrong with Hamlib but not sure what it is.

Thanks for any help.

Ok so it must be something whacked with my primary pc. I built out a virtual box and was just trying to clean up my notes on what I did to get it to work, although they have one gap somewhere I was able to build it and didn't have the problems with HamLib or it crashing so far.

Just for anyone in the future I found the cause. I had an entry for JTDX in my system path, so it was using a different version of Hamlib and causing the crash.
