On Windows, I'm attempting to do the following: LIBS += -lsomeLibwhere
someLib exists in the /LIBPATH as someLib0.dll and someLib0.lib. When I run
qmake, it never finds someLib0.lib and always puts someLib.lib in the generated
Makefile. If the library is named someLib1.dll & someLib1.lib, then it will
find it & add it appropriately to the generated Makefile.
I believe that the problem lies in
generators/win32/winmakefile.cpp:findLibraries where it calls
findHighestVersion. findHighestVersion is returning 0, but findLibraries is
not accepting this as a valid value. In one spot (-lsomeLib branch), it
specifically only allows positive values. In the second spot (someLib.lib in
LIBS), it specifically substitutes the empty string for zero.
My question is: why is zero not allowed as a valid version of a library?
If it decided that allowing a zero version is allowed, I will submit the patch
to Gerrit to change this.
