Depending on your code it *might* be necessary (and hence correct behaviour) to
export the /entire/ class!
This might be due to the generated code by moc, which needs also to be exported
(and this can only be done by exporting the /entire/ class).
However, this should actually only be "effective" when you actually link
/against/ your shared library, not when you try to link your library itself...
but I understand your build process already fails at the later point, trying to
build the shared lib itself.
You say that it seems to work when using the MS compiler, right? IIRC depending
on compiler switches the linker actually might /ignore/ missing symbols and
your DLL seems to link fine - unless you actually try to use it (unless you
link against another DLL /first/ which provides the missing symbols).
So in the MSVC case: did you actually try to link against your DLL and call the
exported method/function from a simple *.exe?
Also as to rule out the very obvious: you DO use two /different/ static Qt
versions, one compiled with an MSVC compiler (same version and compiler
switches as your DLL, where applicable) and the other compiled with the
gcc/MinGW environment (dito for switches) - right? ;)
(Well, you say it works when you export the entire class, so I strongly assume
you do.)
Personally I have never used a static Qt lib, so what you observe might indeed
be a glitch somewhere (maybe even in the MinGW/gcc).
Cheers, Oliver
