Cannot find -lQtAV

I'm trying to compile the tests for QtAV project. I followed the steps described here: https://github.com/wang-bin/QtAV/wiki/Use-QtAV-In-Your-Projects

Everything went fine until I tried to compile some of the examples. I get this error: C:/Qt/Tools/mingw492_32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.9.2/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lQtAV

I think the libraries (QtAV1.dll, QtAVWidgets1.dll etc.) are in place, located in c:\Qt\5.6\mingw49_32\bin\ in my case. I even successfully compiled a QML test application using QtAV for Windows and Android.

But the examples won't compile and I'm not able to figure out why.

I'm not able to figure out why.

The linker tells you that it can't find libQtAV.lib

I think the libraries (QtAV1.dll, QtAVWidgets1.dll etc.) are in place

Above libraries (DLLs) are needed at runtime. At linktime, you need LIBs, not DLLs.

You probably need to add: -L c:\Qt\5.6\mingw49_32\lib to your link line.
