Windows build issue "redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored" and "undefined reference to '__imp___argc'"

[AlbrechtL]

Hi,

Thanks for this great action! Currently I'm porting the project welle.io to GitHub Actions and I ran into an issue where I have no clue about it.

During the build I'm getting tons of redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored warnings and than the linker fails with undefined reference to "__imp___argc". All my other builds e.g. GitHub Actions Linux as well as my local build Linux and Windows runs fine. I'm using Qt 6.7.2 and qmake. and mingw32-make

Did I miss something?

Build warning

Hi.

I didn't dig into this issue but would like to throw out some guesses.

All my other builds e.g. GitHub Actions Linux as well as my local build Linux and Windows runs fine. I'm using Qt 6.7.2 and qmake. and mingw32-make

• name: Install Qt
  uses: jurplel/install-qt-action@v4
  with:
  version: '6.7.2'
  modules: 'qtcharts qtmultimedia qt5compat'
  arch: 'win64_mingw'

Were you using the GitHub-shipped compiler and linker, right? Please install the Qt-provided toolchain by the tools option and try building the program again. Don't forget check if the compiler and linker are the ones you installed.

Interesting. Please paste a screenshot of the "Select Components" dialog in the "Qt Maintenance Tool". Like this: https://forum.qt.io/topic/102029/cannot-find-missing-dependency-using-qt-maintenance-tool-on-macos-10-13

.

Right.

Please install the Qt-provided toolchain by the tools option and try building the program again. Don't forget check if the compiler and linker are the ones you installed.

Which tools do you mean? There are multiple tools existing.

Interesting. Please paste a screenshot of the "Select Components" dialog in the "Qt Maintenance Tool".

Update: After adding tools: 'tools_mingw90' to the yml file the build is working.

The corresponding section is looking as follows.

      - name: Install Qt
        uses: jurplel/install-qt-action@v4
        with:
          version: '6.7.2'
          modules: 'qtcharts qtmultimedia qt5compat'
          arch: 'win64_mingw'
          tools: 'tools_mingw90'

@pzhlkj6612: Thanks for putting me on the right track! It is possible automatically add the correct MinGW tool set to the installation? The Qt Maintenance Tool is doing that.

You're welcome!

I've created a feature request in aqtinstall since this action is a caller to that program. See miurahr/aqtinstall#819.
