Question

I’ve successfully built a program that can read Mifare 1K Card using Qt on Linux. So now, I would like it to run on Windows. From what I’ve gathered, there’s no PCSC-Lite port on Windows and I need to use winscard from Windows SDK. I’ve downloaded it and I got lots of undefined reference errors from my Qt in Windows (with MingW). For example:

release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x48e): undefined reference to `pcsc_stringify_error'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x5e9): undefined reference to `pcsc_stringify_error'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x7ed): undefined reference to `pcsc_stringify_error'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x2e56): undefined reference to `SCardListReaderGroups'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x3adc): undefined reference to `SCardListReaders'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x3cc6): undefined reference to `SCardListReaders'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x3f88): undefined reference to `SCardGetStatusChange'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x4274): undefined reference to `SCardConnect'
release/ReadCard.o:ReadCard.cpp:(.text+0x4d1b): undefined reference to `SCardGetStatusChange

I’ve also tried specifying these libraries in the project, but still failed.

LIBS += -lwinscard -lpcsclite WinSCard.Lib

It’s been a while and I’ve managed to solve this using headers from the example that comes with my reader. My .pro file looks like this

win32 { 
    HEADERS += MainWindow.h \
        ReadCard.h \
        Config.h
    INCLUDEPATH += C:/Omnikey/Include
    LIBS += C:/Omnikey/Lib/winscardn.lib
}
unix { 
    HEADERS += MainWindow.h \
        wintypes.h \
        winscard.h \
        reader.h \
        pcsclite.h \
        ReadCard.h \
        Config.h
    LIBS += -lpcsclite
}

I’m not sure if this solution can be used with other type of readers, but it sure solved mine.
