Plugin loader failure 2
Error message
000038 [2014-02-28 15:50:58.750509] <error> cannot load plugin 'PluginName.dll'. Plugin loader returned error: Cannot load library .//PluginName.dll: ...message in your language...
Solution
See http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/deployment-plugins.html for more information about development of Qt plugins. You can set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable to a non-zero value to see more information from plugin loader.
- Check if this component CMakeLists.txt uses
create_export
and
pacpus_plugin
macros and that it adds generated files to the source file list, e.g.:
create_export(EXPORT_HDR ${PROJECT_NAME}) pacpus_plugin(PLUGIN_CPP PLUGIN_H ${PROJECT_NAME}) set(SRCS ${PLUGIN_CPP} ... )
- Check for the missing DLL's dependencies, other DLLs can be missing (verify it using e.g. DependencyWalker).
[Windows] Copy DLLs to the application's folder or add their folder to PATH.
[Unix] Make them visible to the linker. - [Windows] Check if the .dll file exports any symbols (using e.g. DependencyWalker). At least
qt_plugin_instance
and
qt_plugin_query_metadata
should be visible exported symbols.
- Check if the application, the plugin and its dependencies have been built in the same release/debug version.
- Check if the application, the plugin and its dependencies have been built using the same compiler version.
[Windows] Look for dependent DLLs likeMSVCP110.dll
or
MSVCR110.dll
, check that the version, here 11.0, corresponds with your compiler and the version used by other DLLs.
