I have a Qt project which I have had a debug console displayed whilst I am developing, I am about to ship the product to I removed the qmake console command: CONFIG += console

However when I do that I get the following error:

link /LIBPATH:'c:\Qt\4.5.0\lib' /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /LTCG /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:'./_obj/win32\Lynx.intermediate.manifest' /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS '/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*'' /VERSION:4.00 /OUT:bin\win32\Lynx.exe @C:\DOCUME~1\hannentp\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm1C9.tmp  link_.exe /LIBPATH:c:\Qt\4.5.0\lib /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /LTCG /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:./_obj/win32\Lynx.intermediate.manifest /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*' /VERSION:4.00 /OUT:bin\win32\Lynx.exe @C:\DOCUME~1\hannentp\LOCALS~1\Temp\nm1C9.tmp~ LINK_ : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls'' NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ''C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\Bin\link.EXE'' : return code '0x49d' Stop.

I think that a lib path is missing, however I do have a large number of environment variables setup and working already. Has anybody seen this and know the location of the Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls?

Also I am running this from buildbot so VS2008’s IDE is not really somewhere I want help with.

  1. It seems that the command line is just underquoted:

    '/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' processorArchitecture='*''

    On the second line, the quotes are gone and the linker treats each word as an object to link. You should probably just add quotes (if it was you who added this argument), ie. begin and end with '\' (3 characters in place of one quote). It seems other sources suggest that too, so try experimenting with that.
